May Day, May Day

The other day Lord Kadizzle thought he would have to call the May Day alert on the good ship Sovereign. As the ship charged into the bay under a strong wind the Kadizzle's phone rang. Ruth said the boat Kadizzle had just passed had the captain fall overboard. Roger must have been at their cabin watching with his binoculars. The Sovereign spun about and headed back to Rocky's boat. As we approached Kadizzle thought it might be best to call some other boats if someone was in peril. After a minute or so it looked as though Rocky was at the helm of the boat. Kadizzle decided to get closer before he made a distress call on the VHF radio. When the good ship got along side Rocky it turned out the exercise was all about a dog that had fallen overboard. Apparently Rocky was leaning way over the side when Rodger saw him from the shore. His wife was holding his legs as he went for the dog. From Rodgers perspective it appeared worse than it was. All is well that ends well.
