Well, it's like this.  The hoomins are leaving on a trip across the
country to Eyedeho on the 11th.  They are supposed to be back on July
18th.  They don't know it yet, but I'm going to overcome my fear of the
white metal monster and go along with them.  Right after we get back,
we'll set sail from Roanoke Island here in North Catolina.

So, all you cats who want to sail the seven seas, rescue Adam from
Germany, and plunder and pillage with us, be at the docks in Roanoke at
dawn.  We'll sail with the tide.
