Sounds excellent. I hope that I can afford to make your day. I'm quite impressed, but a few questions come to mind. For example, what if one of the owners turns bad. That is to say, he becomes the victim of some off-brand of barleycorn juice, and gets worse and worse to the point where he commits a serious crime? Like stealing barleycorn juice. How is justice carried out aboard the Blue Boat in a case such as this?
