I've been on rowboats and motor boats. And of course big cruise ships and naval battleships in dry dock. BUT--I'm actually getting an idea what goes into sailing on the ocean in a ship that gets you up close and personal. I related to Bess. I'd be the clumsy one dropping a vital piece of equipment into the drink.River Glynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17128604193981808617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1717926498377706091.post-76161290728975729792016-04-06T10:51:06.153-07:002016-04-06T10:51:06.153-07:00In other words, she set it off by accident?
