THE SHIPS LOG

These are the sea stories that nobody has ever written down or will write down. You may not believe them all, but you will be entertained by them all. These stories are mostly from Seafarers so there is some salty language. Tuck the kids into their racks, make them sweep the deck, or send them down to the engine room to look for a bucket of steam. These stories are from old folks and young people alike. I am bored on watch and want to hear something new, tell me a sea story...

THE SHIPS LOG

Episode #37 Special K

December 12, 2020 • J.B. Salty/Special K • Episode 37

This episode is dedicated to all the seafarers who won't be home for Christmas or Hanukkah.

In this Christmas edition Special K tells us about the time Russians showed up to a family party and taught them to swallow lard and drink vodka. Turns out these Russians were from a nearby salvage tug in Baltimore harbor. What did Soviets drink onboard this tug in the 80's? I'll give you a hint, it's not water. Special K has a big heart and shares his experience adopting a family during Christmas time to help the less fortunate. He also talks about getting shot in the knee, German beer, model ship building, Australia, and Jojo Siwa.

I apologize for the sub par audio. I tried a new method of recording and it didn't go well. Never the less, I enjoyed sharing some beers and conversation with an old friend.

The books that were mentioned regarding model ship building were:

"Ship Models How To Build Them" Charles S. Davis

"Ship Model Building" Gene Johnson

"Ship Modeling From Scratch" Edwin B. Leaf

Merry Christmas & Happy Hanukkah!
