Things that go bump in the night...

This sort of stupidity could make your brain explode, it's always more complicated than those in favor of the death penalty pretend, and, I never thought I'd ever say this, but Rick Santorum makes a rather astute observation (smart folks aren't on their side)...

When I got up this morning there was a new addition to the anchorage. A big honking white buoy. Luckily it did not bump into us on its way in but it does give pause to think of the number of things that you can bump into that are not where they should be...

One year making the crossing from the Canaries to Martinique we happened to be following a mega-sailboat that had loaded up with 55-gallon oil drums of fuel as they planned to motor across. So, for several days every few hours we'd come across a semi-floating bright yellow steel 55-gallon oil drum right on the nose... Sorta of a slalom course with teeth.

Lots of stuff to bump into...

So it goes...
