Pineapple Pineapple

We made some new friends, Jim and Renate on Emerald Sea. They told us about a standard practice that is so sensible, that Libby and I vow to adopt it for Tarwathie. Here it is:

Whenever Libby and I find ourselves in disagreement over exactly where we are, because of navigation confusion; we say pineapple-pineapple. That is the signal to stop the boat dead until the doubt is resolved and we agree once again. That is an outstandingly good policy.

By the way, Jim and Renate explain that the origin of the phrase pineapple-pineapple was a Steve Irwin movie that we did not see. No matter, pineapple-pineapple serves just as well as any other phrase to trigger this standard practice.

p.s. I just looked up the Steve Irwin clip on you tube. It is hilarious. I embedded it below. Have a look, you'll love it.
