So you swopped your seafarer for her ?

She might have a hidden talent, (radar transparent , stealth 500HP inboard ? ) Who would board her looking for serious contraband smuggling ?

God bless her and all who sail in her looking by the picture you'll need it.

I have been lead to believe that 'Smudger' has a sister boat........her name is 'Slapper' and is laying near by on Essex mud waiting for a sailor to give her one down the Crouch

I think I must be missing something here ( maybe a brain )

smudger noun. A person who uses smudging—a process based on a Native American ritual for exorcising evil spirits—to rid a dwelling of "negative energy."

Example Citation:


"Are you fed up with feng shui? Perhaps you should try smudging, the latest craze in New York for unhappy apartment owners....A leading Manhattan estate agent, Barbara Corcoran, recently called in a smudger when she could not sell an apartment on Fifth Avenue. 'It started as an act of total desperation,' she said, 'But we had a smudger come in and chase away those evil spirits.' Next morning, a prospective buyer made a full-price offer."
—Joan Smith, "Everybody believes in something: goddess, guru or gobbledegook ," The Guardian (London)

Smudger

Smudger was a show off engine who rode roughly and often came off the rails. He used to work with Duke, but he caused so many accidents with his reckless behavior that the manager decided to put him out of commission. He now serves as a generator behind the engine shed.
