Signal Bells

Dec 25, 2016 — Comic #86
A “Jingle Bells” parody sung by an officer on a cutter lost in a snowstorm: “Crashing through the snow! In an off-course OPC! O’er the swells we go, I can’t even see!” A buoy bell gongs, the chart doesn’t match, and green and red buoys clang nearby: “Signal bells! Signal bells! I hate OOD! It’s no fun to have to drive an off-course OPC!”

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night watch!
