Grampus also has a tendency to spit water in the tug's faces, most prominently at Bluenose in the episode Regatta and at Top Hat while he was napping in the episode Ghosts. Grampus docks near the famous Bridge CafĂ©, but due to the noise provided by the band, he often moves around the harbour; this is best shown in 'Pirate'. Nothing is said that when Grampus was bought by Captain Star to prevent his demise, that he moved to the Star Dock to rest.
