free ride, eh?

“Candy tastes better on the boat, little girl…”

You wouldn’t fall for that, so why would you fall for…this?  You do not know the vessel’s condition nor safety equipment status; you do not know  the operator nor his ability to handle emergencies: Do not get on boat.

Thank you to the author, Suzanne Strazza, and Four Corners Press;
happy this had an OK ending…

    Christina, I can assure you that smoked mozzarella and Serrano ham ALWAYS tastes better on my boat!

      I missed it! I hope it was a blast, uh, hit, uh smash, uh…(why are all these adjectives so bad for boats?)
      I hope a great time was had by all!!!

    What an adventure was had by all. I’ll make you a good caprese salad when you make it to the west coast. 🙂

    Ok, „No risk…“ has always been a rather dull motto.

    But you will have no chance, to enjoy the rucksack-and-sandals-atmosphere on a ferry in the Cyclades tangle of islands, when you take a closer look for functioning life-jackets. You may not experience dolce vita on an italian cruise liner, where Loreley is the captains companion on the navigation bridge. And of course they don´t even have an idea of “safety equipment status” on board of a malayian Prau, that draws a shimmering wedge on the smooth, glassy sea with its wonderful faint fragrance of jasmine and kretek and engine oil.
