These guys deserve a song. Wonderful story.

Thought the sailors might be interested. 85 and rafting around the world.

SINS-

Neat story, and I have a few more years to plan my voyage.

Odd, there's no mention of them having any beer aboard, only fresh water?

Cheerily,
Charley Noble

If I get hit by a truck and break my hip, I plan to sail around Cape Horn but not on a raft.

SINS-

Eventually the insurance companies are going to figure out this scam. You and other armchair sailors may well spend your days, instead, cracking rocks in some penitentiary.

Cheerily,

They'll have to catch us first.

My favorite line was:

"The word mutiny was only spoken about two or three times a day."

"Mutiny, mutiny, mutiny!"

Now what show did that mumbling cry come from?
