One of the advantages of living in a state that sticks out from the main land mass that is the United States is the number of ships that run their courses into it. And I mean literally!
Because of the limestone under-layer that Florida sits upon, many ships have met an untimely end. This is most unfortunate for them but, years later, I find myself thinking how bored I would be as a water adventurer had they not met such misfortune.
