Hull City Football Club have two mascots. That's Roary on the left and Amber on the right. Recently, they have not been bringing much luck to my favoured team but under our new Spanish manager, Rubén Sellés, things seem to be taking a turn for the better.
Today we beat Blackburn Rovers by one goal to nil at Ewood Park. Now I am rather more hopeful that we can stay up in the English Championship which is effectively the second tier of English football.
I am writing this from the deck of "The Jolly Roger". The entire world seems watery from this perspective. No more blue whales and no more albatrosses either. Just an endless ocean and Tristan da Cunha another two days away.
I easily beat Bruce Taylor in an arm wrestling match this morning and then took on Keith Kline in a best of three bout. I am mortified to admit that Keith came out on top. He is one tough geezer.
Plenty of time for reflection on this little ship. I checked out my blog statistics and realised that this is my 357th blogpost of the year. That means that in the nineteen years since "Yorkshire Pudding" was born, this has already been my most productive year. Last year I posted 355 times but back in 2010 for example, I only delivered 196 blogposts.
Jaycee and her husband Peregrine are still keeping themselves to themselves and failing to mingle with the other passengers. Otherwise, it has been a pleasure to spend time with the other bloggers on board - including Dave Northsider who is a right laugh. Janice from "Jabblog" is missing her cats and dogs and Steve Reed and David Godfrey have their heads buried in books most of the time.
Last year's blogger of the year David is reading a Jackie Collins novel - "The Stud" and 2016 winner Steve is reading "The Revenge of The Librarians" by Tom Gauld. Honestly, often you can't get a word out of these American guys. I thought they would be more fun but it's all read, read, read with them.
Anyway, I must go. The dinner bell is ringing and I want to bag my favourite seat - next to Jennifer of course. Until tomorrow - Cheerio!
