Crazy Frenchman

Check this out. I was over having a read of SA and came upon this link.

Obviously as mad as a hatter but check out his boat. It's a bleeding Armel for heavens sake. A well to do nutter obviously.

This is where a broadside of grape shot would be an appropriate response.

Crazy Frenchman may sound redundant but isn't... Crazy Portagee is... as is Dumb Frenchman...

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.

Ah yes, tautology strikes and hits once more again.

It was most polite of you to omit Whacky Wombat from that list.

A good deck gun just isn't as common as it should be.
