The Concuspidor:

From time to time one has to take control of a situation. Typical of Cog to have chosen a boat whose Captain is prone to tidal mood swings. When this is all over the Captain can buy the boat back, it's not as if I'm going to wreck it, after all.

So now there's nothing for it but to wait for my style and natural flair for succeeding in the face of adversity to cut in and lead us on. What a fortunate fellow Cog is to have such a marvellous person as me to have around in a crisis.
