"Whitsunday rent-a-yacht, Whitsunday rent-a-yacht, Whitsunday rent-a-yacht, this is Ripple, Ripple, Ripple over."
"This is Whitsunday rent-a-yacht, go-ahead please Ripple."
"So the last seven mornings have started and we can't think of anything more likely to induce serenity than a week 'bareboating' the Whitsundays. Fortunately 'bareboat' doesn't require nudity, it just means no crew. The key roles were easily filled Mrs Brewster taking refreshments, sails and anchor, while Mr Brewster shouldered navigation and the burdens of command. At least that was the theory. She wasn't the largest in their fleet, coming in at 28foot, but what Ripple lacked in scale and opulence, was more than compensated for because she was ours. Over."
"This is Mrs Brewster. Over"
"Highlights were many and included finding that there was a CD player so we could have tunes - only marginally dampened by the fact that the lone CD left in the player was Ronan Keating's Greatest Hits; turtle-spotting whilst eating ham sandwiches for dinner accompanied by engined-warmed glasses of Australian Red; hitting breakneck top sailing speeds of 7.6 knots; and being on stinger-watch while Mr Brewster went for his pre-breakfast swim. Next stop Fraser Island. Over."

Hello Sailors!
What fun - glad to see that you're keeping up with the glasses of red ;-) can you be be found drunk in charge of 'Ripple'?!
The only water we see in Paddington is either torrential rain or the canal...... both of which are pretty miserable.
