A fork in the road.

Ha! I already have several popguns; .22, .38, .380 auto, 20 gauge pump. I've also had a few sailboats when I lived in SoCal; 12ft. 16ft, 22ft, 30ft, 40ft. Been without one for a few years now, and since I now live very near a Texas lake, the itch has come back.
My partner and I had a meeting yesterday, as a matter of fact. Decided Houston was too far to go look at a small boat. Anyone who has had one knows the feeling, an empty space in the gut. I've been around boats all my life; as a kid my parents had three over the course of several years, and when I was in the army during the Nam era, I was stationed on an army tugboat in Thailand for two years. I wrote my first novel based on my time there. "The Bangkok Blues" is available on Amazon.

I was a young Airman in Thule, Greenland when I discovered the Army had a navy. We got a ride on one of the Army tugs up the fjord to the huge ice cliffs. The tug captain, a Warrant Officer, pulled the tug up against a very large iceberg floating in the Arctic Ocean and put a ladder up the iceberg and we all walked on it. Dangerous, but a great experience for a19year old. The Army has a navy and airforce, as well as grunts. Who knew?

... lol - interesting back story, Nach.

Where did the "grunts" belong? The Army?

You guessed it, GO! They called us "Wing-nuts," "Air-heads," and other things and we called them "Grunts," "Wrap-legs" (left over from WWI), and other things I can't remember from sixty years ago.

The army administers all U.S. military ports world wide and has many vessels. Officers are all Warrant Officers.

Anytime someone owns a CB1100 and loves boats and has written a novel, I'm gonna bite. I put your book on my Amazon shopping cart.

Thanks so much! There are two others, "Puerto Vallarta Blues" and "Maui Blues"
which is a Kindle version, and I'm working on "Desolation Blues". I have some copies of "Puerto Vallarta Blues". PM me and we'll work something out if you like. Are you into bikes and boats?
