Neat story. I'm finding myself more interested in nostalgia lately. Every
now and then I drive by the house my family lived in when I graduated from
high school. It's in one of those timeless 1940s neighborhoods where almost
nothing has changed in the intervening years since I left for university in
1961. My muthah-ship sits in an Oak Harbor marina that is only 10 miles from
the first engineering project I was assigned to in 1964 for the state
highway department.

So... what inspired me to respond to Chuck's post was that yesterday I was
going through one of those cedar boxes I once kept on some dresser or other
somewhere and found a delivery permit issued to me as captain of my own
fishing vessel. It allowed me to land salmon and other fish caught beyond
the 3-mile limit; the only "license" we needed in the 1970s.

The fishing boat's name was F/V Sea Lion.

I love co-inky-dinks.
