That's awesome! They didn't even let me pilot the duck boat.

We have enough retired Navy around here that our RTB militia would be pretty damn formidable on the seas...

it was a great time spent a week sleeping and working aboard and doing various history tours, working at veterans homes, etc in the area but sailing her and doing up and overs were the highlights. Have a flag flown while underway at home.
