Great story. Wish I was on that run.

Willy, I'm thinking that we try for a reinactment of that run in a scaled down version later this year at Tices. I especially like the part where we could storm ashore and grab some single malt Scotch. We could call it the Official 2nd Annual Tices Shoals Old Ironsides Reinactment Gathering.... or maybe we could call it the Tices Official Annual Sobriety Trip.. or toast for short. (Which is what we will all be if we liberate too much of that Single Malt.

(Maybe we should invite the press?)

LOL...good stuff!

hmm...what did Churchill say about naval traditions of "rum, sodomy, and the lash" ? My USMC mind recoils at the thought of how much sodomy and lashing probably accompanied all that boozing.

All right, I take back what I said, glad i was not on that trip.
