I'd be more concerned for the pirates if they encounter Ted! Hell, he could
be the aerobics instructor. On the other hand cougar attack could be a risk
on board, shortly followed by a clip over the ear from Irene!

Ted I would say that if they are paying and will look after you all right,
go for it. Sounds like a new experience and the students of course will be
incredibly fortunate to have you there.

Cheers
Geoff
