I'm reminded of a converted mine sweeper, force 8 gales up top, and giant prawn curry sailing into a French port and even as a child, shocking the old sailors that a 12 year old could drink big glasses of wine with schnapps. :-)

Nicely done Julie! I had to look up an image of a shrimp boat to fully appreciate it. Joe

Haha! Yes. I understand. We don’t see many of these on Lake Erie. Jekyll Island, Georgia, however, is my home away from home.
