LOL! Hi Race. Hey SAM didn't even bump his head going through the doors. His job was also closing them behind us!

I don't know how you all find your way around those boats.

We noticed the sailors all called their ship a "boat" while we called it a ship. SAM asked about it at dinner and we were told if you're servin on it, it's a boat. To everyone else it's a ship. LOL!
