We meet Phil Melbourne, a cruise ship comedian who has worked for most of the cruise lines and spends his life on ships, airplanes, and hotels. We then travel to see what is special in Zadar, and Jean plays us the sea pipes. David keeps trying to get in on the act and convince us all that he is a comedian, but we settle for his technical tip. Finally, we meet the legend that is Taffy Spencer.

The conversation between these world travellers’ hits upon the airlines losing their bags, as they do, and how they use the new Apple Airtags. Link below. There are a few jokes, but losing bags is not funny.

Stuart and Jean met Taffy on the long trip at sea, the 9-day stretch with no land between Panama and Tahiti. It is the trip that Stuart based his novel Cruise Ship Serial Killer on, but then Taffy tells us his story of missing the ship and how he got on board, as well as meeting the Queen and breaking her fork. Taffy also talks about  getting a role in the movie Freight, now on Amazon.

Finally, Stuart reads Chapter 7 from his cruise novel Cruise Ship Heist. For the audible trial click here. The book is read each night as @CruiseBook@BedTime in 44 parts on YouTube. The playlist is here, and you can catch up and pop in and out at any time.
