Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. Mark Twain (1835 - 1910) . . . . . . Never make someone a priority who only considers you an option. Og Mandino - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Three men are sitting stiffly side by side on a long commercial flight. After they're airborne and the plane has leveled off the man in the window seat abruptly says distinctly and confidently in a low voice "General United States Army retired. Married two sons both surgeons." After a few minutes the man in the aisle seat states through a tightlipped smile "General United States Air Force retired. Married two sons both judges." After some thought the fellow in the center seat decides to introduce himself. With a twinkle in his eye he proclaims " Gunnery Sergeant United States Marine Corps retired. Never married two sons both Generals." SEMPER FIDELIS

Hi Chuck - I know those ships get really small after a few days aboard. . . I was on the "Gator Navy" ships and they were much larger than the one you were on and they felt like a tight turtle neck sweater after a few days

I know the feeling - I was on the "GATOR NAVY" ships - they all get really small after the third day.
I had put the row boat there as a poke in the ribs to some of the sailors in the HOLE IN THE WATER GROUP.
I hope you are enjoying your Summer.

I was on a Destroyer 1958-1961 while in the navy. I was not any bigger than your flagship
