Even loose cannons can alter the course of the ship.

There is a male on the loose who is very dangerous.

It must have been quite a sight as that big pirate ship came loose and ran aground during the hurricane. I'm glad I wasn't there.

There can be only one Captain to a ship.

I am a sailor, you're my first mate
We signed on together, we coupled our fate
Hauled up our anchor, determined not to fail
For the heart's treasure, together we set sail
With no maps to guide us, we steered our own course
Rode out the storms when the winds were gale force
Sat out the doldrums in patience and hope
Working together, we learned how to cope.
Life is an ocean and love it a boat
In troubled waters it keeps us afloat
When we started the voyage there was just me and you
Now gathered round us we have our own crew
Together we're in this relationship
We built it with care to last the whole trip
Our true destination's not marked on any chart
We're navigating the shores of the heart

It's our job now to resurrect the ship a bit and put ourselves in a position where, if we can't get a lead over South Africa, we put them in a position where they have to make some running.
