I can't believe how stupid he was to get me to steal a boat with only lemons on it. I suppose at least none of us will have the scurvy. I thought he knew what he was doing.

Could've been worse, I suppose... could've been the captain. And then things really would be bleak: nothing to eat once the lemons run out.
