While working for the Coast and Geodetic Survey in the Bahamas, we used an old, refurbished, diesel
powered PT boat to get around on. Of course, it was civilianized and didn't have any of the military
accoutrements, like guns. The Captain was a crusty old asshole Bahamian, but he made some great
conch chowder. Should have taken some pictures, but they'd be lost anyway. All my slides from
pre-1987 got 'lost' (i.e. stolen) during our move to Germany. They happened to be in the same box as
my bayonet collection. Strange, huh?
