The Straits of Gibraltar

Today is the last Fun Day at Sea on the Atlantic. Last night was the 5th time of setting clocks forward by one hour. Tonight will be the 6th time. Sometime between midnight and 1 am, the ship will pass through the Straits of Gibraltar. If Pati is awake (although he doesn't expect to be) at that time, he plans to yell "Give me back my peanuts!" to the monkeys of Gibraltar who robbed him the last time he was there. If it were possible to find a bag of peanuts on this ship, Pati would wave them in the direction of the monkeys and yell, in the immortal words of W, "Bring it on!" Pati plans to see who throws what this time!

  1. Gibraltar is GMT + 0100 and (currently) at 57.5 degrees is 2 degrees colder than Dallas, Texas - which, by the way, is rather chilly.
