You're right on the money, Neville. Don't want to make the national news!

Yes, Ross, I've been thinking a compass might not be a bad idea. Probably should get a sextant and a chronometer, too.

...and a life jacket...

....and don't forget your hat Stephen.

Cap, Heather. I have a cap for sailing.

And sunburn cream.

I did think of sunscreen Stephen, but I thought, No, Stephen is a doctor, of course he will remember the sunscreen!

Does the cap cover your ears Stephen?

No. I'm afraid my ears will have to fend for themselves.

Just not good enough I'm afraid Stephen.

Hmmm. I do put sunscreen on them sometimes, but sometimes I forget. I don't think they are made of skin, anyway. They seem to be constructed from some very fine but indestructible alloy...probably a spin-off from the space programme.

See, now I think you are making excuses Stephen. I really think you should get a broadbrimmed hat - you can get them with straps so they don't blow off. Or you could tie a scarf over your cap to cover your poor neglected, unloved ears...

poor little ears, so unloved.....

MMMM what about the boater hat Stephen has on in his avatar ? It might be a bit old now as the guy in the picture looks quite young ???


Or an Akubra ?
