Title: Re: FROM THE OPEN SEA TO THE CANAL/RIVER Post by: Eugene66 on August 21, 2009, 05:04:03 am No I dont want to be on the open sea all the time. But it sounds cool to travel all along the coastline and to dock wherever you go and meet the people taking your "home" with you as you travel.
You sure its a UFO? It sure looks like one. Title: Re: FROM THE OPEN SEA TO THE CANAL/RIVER Post by: harryhoudini on August 24, 2009, 03:05:19 am good meeting place , ship ahoy.......... (http://i642.photobucket.com/albums/uu147/harryhoudini_2009/Weekend19thJuly209.jpg?t=1251101023) |
