There is no one at that address, but sometimes it helps to vent. Speaking of venting...if you own a boat, you know what I'm talking about. If you DO NOT own a boat, what are you waiting for, a sign?

You might also be broke, permanently deformed from living in spaces the size of a Tupperware bread box, have a dent in your skull from banging your forehead into the companionway hatch, and exude from your body such an aromatic stench that even mosquitoes vector away when you walk down the dock.
