The McSkunkville Navy · Madrid, Spain
Madrid, Spain — where the McSkunkville story finds new porch lights. These days, parcels from the Skunk Store find Madrid doorsteps every season, and McSkunkville keeps a porch light on for Madrid.
The Navy's first mission was a flood rescue and it never forgot: every hull is built to run TOWARD trouble. The flagship RSS AFFIDAVIT carries no guns that fire first — only lines, lights, and the finest record-keeping afloat.
Admiral Pearl Delacroix-Wendell logs every sortie by hand. 'A rescue unrecorded,' she says, 'is a promise unproven.'
Fleet motto: STEADY. HONEST. HOME.
Worldwide Access — The McSkunkville Navy greets readers in Madrid and 38,000 cities beyond. Full directory.
