If you look closely on the engine cover of HIGH ISLANDER, you'll see the familiar red, white and blue 12 pack of Pabst Blue Ribbon,... Beee-ah. The two were knocking them back with gusto coming into Isle Au Haut harbor.
I wonder how many PBR cans are on the bottom on the coast of Maine?

- Me too. Sailing will save you. If you can't, just slow down.

- Turned my radar on today for the first time since the launch day test
- I don't know where you are, but I can tell you this. In the Gulf ICW, beween Galveston Tex and New Orleans La
