Though, really, it's a moot point for me. I am a good sailor, and I can carp when sails are full. But one of my crowning achievements in cracking up my crew is when I went on a tirade about how good I am at bilging. I had a good five minutes explaining how God had given me a gift. I bilge well. I bilge very well. I am friends with the Jellyfish and the Pufferfish.
But anyways. Look, a hurricane! Isn't it exciting?
