I crossed from California to Hawaii several times in my childhood. Once on a commercial ship, the others Navy ships. They were big. I felt safe until I'd look over the side. But 36 feet in a storm would paralyze me.

There are a lot of boats in the harbour so it's a pretty amazing coincidence that I just happened to take a photo of it!Jofeathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10290597697140624780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5753773086042054845.post-76352119850455446072017-07-22T11:25:50.693-07:002017-07-22T11:25:50.693-07:00What wonderful adventures they had.

They never sailed across the sea, just in the Detroit River and the great lakes. I do have the ships log though and I see I am ready for the next boat prompt!Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06413795611563683135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5753773086042054845.post-38634915535756964542017-07-22T07:27:59.521-07:002017-07-22T07:27:59.521-07:00Your sister was adventurous.
