Yet another reason why our Navy is the best. What ship though, Paul? (Just got an ah-deer. Gia's hit a big score with her art, and Vicky's always wanted to see the =real= ocean. "Let's do it, Jack. A fun cruise!" "I guess...just let me get my eyepatch and cutlass together..." "Yay, Jack! I want to be a pirate too!" But there's villiany afloat...

As long as you don't get =too= lulled. The oceans are savage and mighty and unforgiving. "Many a brave heart is asleep in the deep." That's why a little island off the northwest coast of Europe forged a worldwide empire--the British =understood= the Blue Water.
