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

And for the talented naive losers who don't belong to our circles, Julie, you can say again your old slogan: "these pomes will surely find their home somewhere else, bye! Julie"

Haha! Yes. I understand. We don’t see many of these on Lake Erie. Jekyll Island, Georgia, however, is my home away from home.
Very nice, Julie! I like the imagery presented. :)
