Robin: Windy too. All blow, no rain, bit stressing.

Peter: Anchor yourself with a rope when you go up on the roof.

.

Robin: Like old times, clambering up the rigging.

.

Peter: With a harness. Like Knox-Johnson sailing around the world, driven by the power of the Roaring Forties, and sometimes climbing the mast to avoid monster waves.

.

Robin: Get a grip! That’s the story!
