Ready To Shove Off

Landlubbers:

           Well, it’s nearly here – the launch of this year’s Killa Flotilla. More than a dozen intrepid tars will soon set sail on an adventure down the mighty Susquehanna. For me, and a few other grizzled veterans of the open seas, this will be a return to that sacred waterway, whose genesis is found aways up thar in New York State.
           Having logged these many nautical miles, we cast off knowing full well the potential of those angry waves.

                 In addition, we’ll be responsible for the guidance of those

 wide-eyed pups in the group, for whom this will no doubt be the

 thrill of a lifetime.

                Your faithful captain will remain strong and firm, like a

 diamond among pearls; ever vigilant, ever strong, ever at the ready

 to encourage the faint of heart.  Avast, we sail at dawn……..
