October 10, 2009. A surprise fleet inspection was enjoyed by the crew of Marathon when Admiral Sheridan pitched up in San Francisco for the Thanksgiving weekend. While the crew dealt with a boat surrounded by sea lions and buffeted by surge and storm force winds, the Admiral enjoyed some of San Francisco’s iconic landmarks which are also very tasty to eat.
Now there is an Admiral with the right idea, i.e., her feet are on dry land in close proximity to chocolate nirvana! A prerequisite to any inspection I say.
Happy sailing to the crew, wind at your back only, forget the west seas. Oh, get tans now!
The whole sea conspires to get into a boat. Yours must have been a particularly devious one to find the electronics. My sea tore our a bit of metal just to drip into Tom’s sleeping bag. I hope you learned to turn three times in a circle and spit over your shoulder saying hail mary’s! It’s supposed to help.
