Just a Few Tacos Shy...


...of a full combo platter. Thats an old saying to suggest that someone isn't playing with a full deck, or in this case, a few gallons shy of a full ocean crossing.


It seems our mariner here left Bermuda on Saturday, and headed up to New England, in part to set a record, and in part for some kind of charity.

Well, I'm trying to be as generous as I can, but I gotta wonder about the sanity of such a voyage. He told me the reason he was getting low on gas was the 40 kts of wind and 20' seas he encounted the night before; weather that wasn't predicted, I guess. I delivered 5 gallons of gas to him about 15 miles south of his destination of Newport, RI.


To bad he didn't have a membership...
