I am in need of a crew! Will anyone join me in my search for Eustace, our most beloved camel? When I awoke this morning, he was gone! I looked all over the house for him, only to discover some old photos of when he was a baby, left on my computer screen… that’s it!

Not even a note, or any sort of clue that might lead me to his whereabouts!

However, my search of the local area was rewarded! I found a boat down at the river, fully supplied and ready to sail… hmmmm. I haven’t a clue who put it there, but I’m fairly certain it’s been left for our use. If not, somebody was quite careless in leaving their vessel unguarded, there beside the water’s edge… I am a pirate, you know!

Well, I’m not one to back down from a challenge/adventure just because I don’t know for sure where we’re headed… you know me better than that! I think we all know where this is heading, right?

I wont stop until I recover our Eustace! I’ll search through every AI land there is until I find him. What if I lose the babe’s or even Brutus, for that matter? Finding our funny camel is incredibly important, because Wednesdays won’t be the same without him. Maybe, if I’m successful in recovering Eustace somehow, there is still hope for the barnyard, Acorn Valley, not to mention the new puppies! It occurred to me that both Bailey and Gabriel are also in danger of disappearing from the lobby.

I don’t know how long it will take, or even where the river will take us… but we owe this to Eustace, I think. Let us not waste any more time talking, when there’s a river calling out to us.

To any faithful crewmen coming aboard, I found some fitting nautical call outs on the internet, generally used for a successful departure and journey…

Fair winds and following seas

When a ship leaves port, a common phrase called out to the crew is “”Fair winds and following seas“”, which is essentially a nautical blessing for a safe and smooth journey with favorable wind conditions. 

Clear the deck

Prepare for departure by removing any obstacles.

Heave Ho and Cast off

A command to pull on ropes with force, and then release the lines securing the ship to the dock.

Underway

Indicates the ship is now moving.

Now then, everyone should feel like an actual crew mate. If you’re not clear on your particular ship duty, I would suggest you look it up on google before we get too far away and lose cell service, or worse, your phone runs out of battery power… our ship has no charging outlets!

Welcome Aboard, Mates!
