Blogger messed up the Label Cloud somehow but I don't have the heart to go through the trouble of changing it back - even though it was far more asthetically pleasing than the standard cloud. One has to imagine this type of thing will happen again...Paulinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11730716060906158244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-876794033107456809.post-92179817120245240032011-05-13T16:28:39.300-08:002011-05-13T16:28:39.300-08:00Ahoy, Pauline!

In this instance, it's obviously time to move.

That said, finding them on a ship is not particularly common.
