I just thought of another one.
We were snorkeling and a sailor named
Charlie ( Sonar or
Electronics type) and I used every deck of cards in the after battery to build a card house.
It stood about thirty inches tall. When the last card went into place we made a pendant
from a paper napkin, threaded
it on a toothpick and stuck the bottom end in a cigarette butt
and placed it on top for the finishing touch. We were surpassed
it stood up with the head
valve cycling and the air moving through and not to mention the roll and pitch of the
boat
No one got a picture of it, but I wish we had made one.
Ted.
