This is one of the bricks in the oldest church in North Carolina, which we visited while on Thanksgiving vacation, in Bath....

a lot of the inscriptions were so old, they were nearly unreadable....

Sinking Thinkings

*Chart: A type of map that tells you exactly where it is that you've ran aground

*Propeller: Underwater winch designed to wind up at high speed any lines or painters left hanging over the stern

*Clew: Evidence leading to the recovery of a missing sail

*Canvas: An abrasive sailcloth used to remove excess skin from knuckles.

*Fluke - The portion of an anchor that digs securely into the bottom, holding the boat in place; also, any occasion when this occurs on the first try.
