Roll call

Howdy, folks

Just wanted to mention that our beloved Compass leader (and expert and creator...), Sharon, will be on well-deserved holidays until September 4th so, if you're in need of her top-notch services, you'll have to make do with the likes of the rest of us (sigh).

And, speaking of the rest of us, I'd also like to take this opportunity to mention that this is Elva's last week at Compass before she embarks on a new adventure back to Mexico to be with her family. I think I speak for the whole Compass clan when I say that her energy, professionality, humour, and incomparable Spanish chispa will be very sorely missed around these parts. We wish Elva the best of luck and sincerely hope that our paths cross again in the future. We also welcome (back) the lovely and talented Veronica who previously crewed with distinction on the good ship Compass and is now back to again steer the vessel with steady and practiced hands.

Hope you've got your mainsails tight and your poop decks spotless, me hearties.
