What did Darklar say?

Anyway, it's time for vacation fishing trip #1.

Tomorrow, the NY harbor turns into a parking lot full of boats trying to watch the fireworks show from the water.....you need a battleship to go out.

Good luck!

I will be on a plane. Hope there is some kind of celebration aboard,
