A-C-C-R-A.
:17:04
What's that supposed to mean?
:17:07
It's the name of his dad's boat.
:17:10
And it's the capital of Ghana.
:17:14
Don't tell me, you must be Ricky Monroe?
:17:17
- Ricky...
- What?

:17:19
Get your feet off the bed.
:17:27
Thanks, but no thanks.
:17:29
The advert won't go in the paper till Friday.
:17:31
I'm grateful for the offer,
but we might not be here that long.

:17:34
That's what I said when I first came.
:17:38
It's only a part-time job.
I'm not asking you to sign your life away.

:17:44
OK, just think about it.
:17:46
She doesn't need to think about it.
She'll take it.

:17:48
Just tell her what time you want her to start.
:17:54
OK, then.
:18:11
We crossed the equator a week ago, Frankie.
:18:14
Be docking in the Cape soon.
:18:17
And it's really hot on board now.
:18:19
It's so hot on deck,
you burn your hands on the rail.

:18:24
Well, I'd better go now, Frankie.
:18:27
It's my turn on watch.
:18:29
Now, mind and stick in at school
and be a good boy for your mammy.

:18:34
Love from your daddy.
