Well, it’s the start of some new ink. It’s odd that he said a toast I gave at a dinner last year was the inspiration for it:

There are good ships,
And there are wood ships,
And there are ships that sail the sea.
But the best ships
Are friendships,
And may they always be.

I do recall I was, uh, already a few sheets in meself when I stood and rendered that to my motley crew.

This made me proud.
