WELCOME TO BOY SCOUT TROOP

Sea Base -- On Dry Land
The trip on land was a wonderful experience, from our flight attendant who
thought he was a comedian (and is an Eagle Scout) to the excellent staff
at Sea Base. We all managed to get up on time for the trip to the airport,
and we brought back the same number of people we left with (now whether they
were the same people or not, I don't know, but the numbers matched!). We
all had a good time on our foray into Key West, and we even got to take
a real shower!
