Our alert Shipping Reporter almost called out the Coast Guard , Border Security , the US Seventh Fleet and Bob Katter senior leading a battalion of schoolkids armed with .45 calibre pee (sic) shooters when he spotted what he thought was a Monkeypox variant on Magnetic Island .Thankfully ,it was not a new super pox but the side of a yacht with the swinging name, Cheeky Monkey .
It is one of the many yachts on the island for Race Week. All clean living yachties are disease free and deeply concerned about the treatment of the mutilated mermaid at the entrance to Magnetic Island .( Major scoop will be revealed later .)
