Translation follows....
“Have assumed temporary command of “Cottonmouth”, the PT of the Texas Navy. Have just started patrols of Lake Texoma. No contact yet with Oklahoma Rabbits of either their regular navy nor their Reserves. However, intel indicates they may try to deploy Covid laced barbecue on the Texas side of Texoma.

I doubt if they still have Beriozka shops in Russia any longer, I do have lasting memories of them in Moscow and Leningrad. There was a big one at the river end of Red Square if I remember correctly as well as in most hotels. They died out long ago in Romania, chiefly remembered there as a source of illegal money exchanges and a place to buy coffee to give to friendly Romanians, Oh! the tales of the Dollar shops, I could go on for hours. However, I digress Fleet, your message re vodka has been received and fully understood.
Cheers, Nerys

" I think I'd rather go to Kirkenes for supplies and fuel"
Agreed and approved VAdm Nerys.
When in Murmansk get me bottle (or two😉) of Stolichnaya, or even Beluga Vodka if you can find it!😋
Is there still a Beryozka shop in Murmansk I wonder? I suppose they don't need them any more now!

To, Fleet Admiral at MBNHQ, Munchen.
Thank you for your message which brought some relief. I had visions of a trip across the length of the Russian Arctic to approach the Bering Sea from the west. I have vague memories from my past of reading an article about someone who actually did that in a small boat.
I shall put the order for the ice breaker on hold for now.
Goodwill visit to Murmansk that's definitely on but I think I'd rather go to Kirkenes for supplies and fuel, the Russian trawlers do that.

FLASH MESSAGE TO VICE ADMIRAL NERYS
REF: "If I am to take command of the Arctic Ocean, Lofoten Islands, and, the Norwegian Sea which are all areas bordering Northern Europe, can you advise me what route to take when visiting the Bering Sea?"
Belay that order Admiral, was looking at the wrong chart😔😮
The Barents Sea was meant of course😉But staying outside Russian territorial waters, except for the occasional Goodwill / re-supplying visit to Murmansk perhaps.

That's quite an idea Colin, the rib might do for both purposes., though on thinking about it, there's not a lot of water in places around Hay. Covid refugees from Wales? quite likely, police patrols on the roads and you stopping them on the river, I can visualise it now, flotillas of coracles crossing the river and you sending them back, perhaps they'll set up a Jungle style camp somewhere on the border.
By the way if you acquire any confiscated or even bargain price salmon, I'm always interested.
Cheers Nerys

Thanks Admiral Nerys, I could always get an airboat, I could patrol upstream to Rhayader and downstream to Chepstow and keep watch for refugees from Wales trying to get into England or for those pesky salmon poachers.
Keeping a fast patrol boat at Chepstow for scudding round to Aberystwyth to visit mother.
As there's a lot of handy coves on the west Wales coast that could harbour smugglers I think a fast RIB would be best.
Further ideas gratefully received, cheers Colin.

Commodore Colin, you are more than welcome to use our existing facilities in South Wales and that would probably be better than trying to operate from Chepstow which is probably your nearest deep water as you would then have to negotiate the shallows of the Lower Severn. However I think it might be an interesting exercise to 'Show the Flag' occasionally in your home waters.
