Escapado - 29 November

Deadline day transfer, Eddie Barns Morison a new up and coming sailor of the mid Atlantic switches watch mid season. The player holds Escapado’s highest SOG of 15 knots, produces a banging egg fried rice and holds the highest centre of gravity on the boat. Pre season, Eddie suffered with sea sickness, but 9 tactical chunders later and he’s made a sharp recovery after medical support and attention. With a record breaking sleep schedule the lad is back on track to winning the season despite completing a 12 hour shift today. As we speak the paper work is being processed by his agent and lawyers while the transfer fee is still under negotiation. We estimate his net worth to be approximately €7.50 + a Nutella biscuit and peanut butter rice cake, however with a good proportion of the crew being students, they may struggle to finance it. We suspect doctor Alistair could be in a position to fund the player however the rest of the crew are prepared and willing to take a cut if the deal can’t be made. We’re still waiting on a medical check up to come through before Eddie can make his way over to Escapado’s nav table to sign the legals and contract. Tune in tomorrow for an update on Ed’s training and ability within crew watch out.
