All three crew members are retired persons and sometimes retirees can be considered to be like machines, once they are so worn out or used up there in no value in them left, they are junked and thrown onto the scrap heap. However looking on the bright side, they may a get a pension if they live long enough.
Has it happens, the present crew is very fortunate in the retirement arena, all three having retired in their early fifties and far from being put out to grass have developed themselves in other areas. The Captain although a competent plumber likes to help out grannies with their plumbing both external and internal, while The First Mate , likes to teach his grannies how to suck eggs and therefore acts as a consultant to the Water Industry and the Cabin Boy is a property developer, socialite ,and a D-I-Y handy-boy .
When not plumbing, the Captain enjoys birds of both two legged varieties and digging up his grannies in the form of genealogical studies and real ale. The First Mate enjoys watching acts of violence in films, making his body even more attractive by body building and trying to cure himself of xenophobia. Last but not least, Billy Boy likes to cultivate his upper crust accent with all of its foibles, using pedal power to visit hostelries for the consumption of vast amounts of beer and holding court in his local whilst in the company of The Vicar, Charley Farley, The Captain and Moggie Morley. Retirement like death comes to us all.
