beach? Pffft . . . I lived on the ship for three years! No walking necessary to jump into sewer polluted harbor, only 3 days of quarantine and a handful of shots (probably penicillin).

And, when the weather was bad, the ship pitched 20 degrees and rolled 90. I used to walk on the bulkheads when the weather was bad!

Yes, we've won our share of awards, and yes, I've tested stuff and read the scientific papers, but ultimately take everything I say with more than just a grain of salt! So if you are looking for trouble, just do as I say or even better, do something I said years ago!

So you have climbed a whole flight of stairs in one step.

I worked on 300 footer for about 2 years. I loved having to put a wet towel on  the table to keep dinner from sliding away. Good times! At least the captain would lets us drop a line from the stern once in a while. I live in FL. We are 3 miles from the beach. I don't go the beach enough but I love it when I do...
When you dig grave will you make it shallow so that I can feel the rain?

About 9 miles away from a couple of real nice beaches in Westport, MA and 20 minutes away from Newport, RI. I wanted a beach house but the flood insurance made it not an affordable option. I usually take a quick dip every night or two during the summer. Probably a couple more weeks before the water is warm enough up here.

Funny, even as a kid, the beach didn't hold much appeal. I'm Scottish/English super white, burn and peel, no tan. I did like the girls there though!

oh I go from pasty white to bright pink in no time.  I don't care for the beach that much either, but my wife does.

Sounds like you have been to Subic Bay. I spent a year over at Cubi Point.
