They say the third time’s the charm…

The comedy of errors that is the SS Tropicturd helmed by Captain Ginge continued today on our journey to Dog Island, which actually ended up being a longer journey to the Lemon Islands. I’m calling him Captain Ginge today because of his obvious hair color, and it best matches his salty, snarly British personality.

Upon arriving at Dog Island, Arnud advised Captain Ginge not to drop anchor because we were on corral, but he of course would not listen. Then not 2 minutes later he screams at Arnud to bring the anchor back up. He decides we cannot anchor at Dog Island and must instead go to the Lemons. That was easier said than done, and we had to circle all around the atoll and radio another boat for directions before successfully anchoring. Once anchored, the fishing line was completely tangled in the propeller…so much for fish for lunch. I’m starting to question our fearless leader’s abilities.
