It would be funny if the sea-fight were not a surprise attack by pirates but an event planned and scheduled into the voyage like shuffleboard games on a cruise ship. Like – Monday is the cabaret.
Tuesday is water sports in the ship’s pool and Wednesday is our sea-fight.
Thursday is Taco Night and Friday is the dance.
I’m picturing it all written on one of those school calendars with cheesy clip art scattered here and there and it makes me laugh. I picture Hamlet drawing pirate hats and swords surrounding Sea Fight Wednesday.
I also want him to really have planned it.
