Having been a boat owner, I remember how long it took to get a sense of direction when surrounded by sea in every direction. Enjoyed your poem, Larry. Congratulations, Carolyn

Aye, too many dyslexic sea captains in our harbours, especially on holidays! Bonne chance! Aloha! Rico n.b. (the validation characters are, "TAX"; is that an omen you will win cash?)
