Re: SSSSM - Part Deux

Re: Anyone not in lockdown and still able to sail?

Yeah... That's a tough one....
Not much you can do if the boat is not wet.

Re: Anyone not in lockdown and still able to sail?

So what is to stop you from going down to the boat... To FISH (allowed)...

You could always claim ADD and say something...

Re: Fleeing Pestilence.... flight of fancy... or rather voyage of fancy
