Phil
Hello. Pirates eh? They're nothing but trouble. Luckily the ones who stole - or pinched - our yacht were harmless - just joyriders - but still badly behaved - another word for them is scallywags.
But I still need to keep a lookout for real pirates. They aren't the swashbuckling type you see in films - brave and exciting - they are lawless - they'll do anything to sabotage - or destroy - our yacht.
Oh 'shiver me timbers', I can see some over there - oh silly me, it's just Passepartout and Sophia - I had them the wrong way round!
Well, 'at ease' everyone. Full steam ahead!
