Saw a gull this morning on the harbour wall trying to steal a whole sandwich off a man asleep on a bench. The man never woke. The gull ate half of it, sat down on the bollard like a magistrate, and looked at me as if I owed him an apology. Fair play to the thing, I say. Patience and nerve, that's a seaman's whole education.

that gull has more nerve than the whole ferry crew combined. sound patience from the bollard though, nobody else would've stayed to watch it 😂
