BUT, tomorrow, I am gonna take the good pirate ship Awesome out tomorrow with my brother...... his birthday present to me..... yes, I grow older.....
He repaired the throttle/transmission control on our cabin cruiser and said "so, I thought you might like to take her out for your birthday" and I thanked him, saying "what a swell birthday present!" Then, we will dry her out for the coming winter, planning to take her out again next year.

So..... hoist those arms, unfurl those sails, we are a CREW here after all, and it takes ALL of us to sail!

Aye, aye,
