The Champions of Cannery Row

When our ship came in we feasted on shellfish and drank to our hearts content. We sat around the table laughing and telling our stories. 14 champions of yesteryear brought together one last time.

The ocean was behind us. We overcame the sea in all her raging glory.

88 days on the water will change a man... change him down in his soul.

Around the time we were finishing up the meal I had to excuse myself. The shellfish weren't sitting very well, my stomach was a bubblin' and a rumblin'... I ran to the bathroom.

It looked as though the sea had her revenge after all.
