"I think I've figured out why we can't find the marina."

Angels await for their baggage around carousels.

For some reason, "The Road Less Travelled" GPS package never really caught on...

A massive ship pulls in in Central Park.

'It's my company, I'll decide whether I want to go to the partner's meeting or not.'

Captain steering house through flood.

"Sorry, Rick, but no thongs means no thongs."

'If we get out of this alive, I'm going to have a darn good look at your resume.'

An old-time engineer enters the cockpit on a flight.

'Well, it wasn't my lucky day... first there was that shark and then I bimped into a bunch of beaver!'

Welsh airport arrivals.

Sea weed harvest.

'Not while I'm driving the boat, Marge, please,'

"There's always a period of adjustment whenever you hire a new crew."

"How can you feel queasy, we're barely out of port."

'it's the last bite that worries me.'

'May I speak to you alone, Cap'n?'

Captain Ahab (Ret.)

Distractions.

Lighthouse powered by batteries.

'If we took the boat out, it might get dirty or scratched. Can't we sit here for the next several hours and talk about why you accused me of being paranoid?'
