This news item made me wonder, what's the strangest thing you've found floating along while cruising, or on the shore....

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.

Hey..that's how Cam was conceived.....the condom was pierced....

I know what happened and am letting you on a secret..:

See...I met Mr. Cam Senior...and I was amazed how nice he was...I asked him...Mr. cam Senior...how and what the hell were you thinking to have a son like cam??

He said:

Well..I was scuba diving with Mrs. Cam...I then said...Honey..I am bored lets do some s**t...(poopoo), well me boy...9 months later Cam was born....

So we called him Camaraderie, which means floating turd in Swaeelly
