Dear Diary,
Desperate for some conversation and eager to learn from my nautical experience, today I approached a seaman fiddling with some ropes on the afterdeck. I observed his nimble fingers as he tied the ropes together. He saw me watching him, smiled and gave me a wink. Emboldened I stepped forward and said;
"Excuse me, but would you be so kind as to show me your knots?"
The next thing I remember was being pushed to the deck by those nimble hands, his smile turned into a frown.
"You dirty bugger!" He hissed at me and strode away.
I fear hearing problems are not solely an issue for our Captain.

Dear Wayne,
I fear it must be the sea wind affects sailors so.
Auditorily yours,
