Danae: Thanks to an innate sixth sense of weather, honed to a fine climactic instrument by the ravages of the sea over the years as a lobster fisherman, Captain Eddie was able to detect a subtle shift in the wind. Somehow, he just knew that a storm was brewing! Knowing his boat was too slow to outrun the storm, Eddie had to rely on his wits and resources from the sea to reach the safety of the nearest harbor... So he called on his friend Barney whose life Eddie had saved many years ago by single-handedly dragging the enormous whale off a shallow sand bar. But that's another story... Captain Eddie: Hey Barney. Barney the Whale: 'Sup, Ed. Danae: Using Barney's mighty blowhole as a launching pad, the boat rocketed into the stratosphere... riding the storm's leading winds safely back to port. And that's how Captain Eddie rescued us from being marooned on Moose Island! Flo: How much did the not-so-swift boad captain for the inebriation of the truch pay you to say that? Danae: Five bucks each and a promise to never take us out on a cruise again.
