Disappointed to be several decades too early for the Eel Pie Island scene.

“Why on earth would you spend so much money on something so flimsy & impractical?”
“I like this hat”… #GirlsOwnCC

“Tell me, how can your boat move without sails?”
“You‘d be surprised just how far a large supply of beans can take you”
”So that’s why they call you Captain Windy”… #GirlsOwnCC

I think we've lost a Tombliboo upriver somewhere, there are only two here, by my feet.
It's alright miss I have the other here. He says you lost the #GirlsOwnCC tag overboard and he saved it.

(been watching too many kids programs for my own good)

“Whatever shall I call my new boat? I know, I’ll let fate decide. I’ll name it after the first person I see. That‘s bound to bring me good luck - I say, you there, young lady. Pray tell me, what is your name?”
”Marie. Marie Celeste”… #GirlsOwnCC

John West wasn't accustomed to being rejected

“I wonder where he keeps his rod” mused Adeline. “He can reel me in any day.”

“I never thought I would make it back safe from the Lost World. I would have returned sooner but it took me six long months to finally shake off those deadly pterodactyls - Ohhh”… #GirlsOwnCC

Big Alice knew she shouldn't have eaten that mushroom, and seeing Frederick walking on water as coat hangers drifted in the sky was confirmation of this.

“Maria, you really didn’t have to amputate your lower legs to avoid sailing with me today” #GirlsOwnCC

Sirena moped dolefully… she had invested much time and practice in a repertoire of songs suitable for luring heroic mariners to throw themselves at her feet and felt rather discouraged by the results…

“Where’s the rest of your crew?”
“Arrh, tis a sad story, lass. Halfway through t‘journey, we ran out of food & so - “
“But you only sail around the bay”… #GirlsOwnCC

“What happened to your sails?”
“They've been sold”… #GirlsOwnCC

Despite all the bad luck & disappointments she had endured in her life, Maude always clung on to the hope that one day her ship would come in - but when it finally did, it turned out to be empty… #GirlsOwnCC

Lucinda retained her ladylike demeanour at all times when out with her beau. “Have the sprouts worn off yet?” shouted Gerald, romantically. #GirlsOwnCC

Eliza's heart sank. She realised Jack had meant it literally when he said he was going to push the boat out.

George was trying to act cool in front of Ethel, but the fact that he was walking on water was a dead give away. #GirlsOwnCC

Ahoy miss. Your Uber is here.
