How else can you call for the Pizza Boat?
Ooooh! Id forgotten about the Pizza Boat!!!
Pizza boat on the lakes, or out in the ocean?
Do they listen to Marine band, CB, or cell phones?
Yep! Girls in bikinis with hot pizza, cold beer and a warm smile!
Sounds like a nice combination.
Sure never experienced that on the Chesapeake (sort of half-way
between freshwater lakes and salt water. Enough salt brought in by
tidal operation to make it about half salty.
We welcomed the heavy rains inland which resulted in the bay
getting fresher. The real benefit from that is that it reduced the
count of "sea nettles" (rather nasty jellyfish -- not as bad as a
Portugese Man-o-War, but still quite uncomfortable to encounter
swimming, or even when paddling a kayak and the up-side paddle blade
brings up a tentacle or two and drapes it over your arm, which starts
burning. :-)
Early in the season, they are sort of ghostly blobs. Late in
the season, they develop sort of red and ghostly alterating wedges like
the panels in an umbrella. :-) The better to spot the ones near the
surface at least. You do *not* want to dive in deep in the late season.
Enjoy,
