Dear recruits, I am currently in the Caribbean sea seeking the great Cent tours, the pirate who is the greatest jokester in the world. Have you seen him? Last month this rascal gave me a gift that I promised to repay. During the biggest ship race, when I hoisted my sails, there was a clown face in the centre of my new large sail.
