Alone, alone, all, all alone, Alone on a wide wide sea! And never a saint took pity on my soul in agony.


Here we have a ferry coming into Sullivan's Cove from the Eastern Shore.

Henry and I are currently discussing plans to launch into our own adventure on the high seas, but haven't quite decided on how big a boat we should start off with. After seeing Jaws, we are erring on bigger.

Buy a cruise or a warship :-D

Hmm...it still looks pretty green out there though it is supposed to be begging of winter soon!

I've never seen 'Jaws'. On purpose. I like going into the ocean and my imagination is wild enough without Spielberg enhancing it.

Maybe a submarine if you love to hide under the water. hehe..

Priyanka Khot said...

Whoa! that is quite huge. I cannot suggest a boat but i definitely want you all to come to come to India on your first voyage!

P.S: I have made an attempt to write a drabble. Please let me know what you think. It is on this link:

How about the little boat your daddy works on? 100,000 ton big enough? And we have 3 cranes capable of landing any size fish up to 5 tonne.

Don't worry about Jaws and start with a rowing boat!

Kris said...

KL, our native trees here are not deciduous, so stay green through winter.

Kris said...

Cuppa Jo, if you check your brain in at the door (the science is amusingly bad), it is not a bad flick.

Kris said...

Keropok Man, the one time I went on a submarine I saw a Green Sea Turtle and my wife got sick.

Kris said...

Priyanka, I did enjoy the drabble. You need to do what Jen did and aggressively pursue that man!

Kris said...

Roddy, too big. It would know the bridge over (again).

Kris said...

Steffe, rowing is too hard!

Keropok Man said...

how come your wife got sick?
claustrophobic?

Kris said...

Keropok Man, a combination of that and the fact that she was fourteen or so weeks pregnant!

Priyanka Khot said...

lolz. Kris!

that was diction... hahhaha

i am glad that most people think that my fiction work is REAL... i think that makes me a good writer :)

Roddy said...

Why would I want to sail under the bridge, unless it was to pick you up at your front door. I was thinking more of going off to do a bit of deep sea trawling.
Perhaps you would want another of my ex jobs. Southern Surveyor. She at least was an ex North Sea trawler. You should have seen her. S
he docks at the C.S.I.R.O. wharf.
Anyway the call is yours.

Kris said...

Priyanka, I bet that it was rooted in an event...

Kris said...

Roddy, too small!

Roddy said...

Don't tell me you get seasick! Me, I just get sick of the sea. My god, that joke is wearing thin. Sorry.

Kris said...

Roddy, I have only ever been seasick once, on the infamous Challenger B!

Roddy said...

You bring back fond memories of the Challenger B. The beginning of the end of an era, and the awakening of a new dawn. How time flies, that was about 19 years ago. Thank you my son.

Kris said...

Roddy, that will be 22 dollars please...
