..and you know what sailors are. A ho in every port. The traditional “Yo, ho ho” signifies the sighting of two ho’s. This cry often has the addition “and a bottle of rum” whose meaning is clear. Matrimonial or relationship problems are resolved by chanting “Heave ho” three times, which is considered as final and formal separation. I think that the term “ahoy” may reflect a provincial accent. Many sailors eventually run out of ho’s and join the ”single handed” fraternity. I have often reflected on Santa Claus’ repeated “ho, ho, ho” which makes me think he may well have had a nautical background.

I would dearly love to know the thought process behind this one…
Maybe not, though. Some things are better left as a mystery.
Beautiful shot.
I was being lazy. I’m doing a book of my old blogs and I came across this one today. God knows what I was thinking at the time:)
Aw…I liked the Mystery better.
Now, there’s a thought. Santa must have an awful lot of ports.
Even Drake was known to be playing around with the Plymouth Hoe:)
You know I didn’t know what to expect with that title. I should have! Very funny.
No time to chat, Greg, I’m off to fight Algy.
Ho dear!
Ho indeed:)
