MantisFest '10: Open Water?

I'd say such a thing is quite doable. Depending on how many are interested, I could see Fish and I each taking a vessel full of Mantids from point to point. We could race!

My wife says that if it's in the Caribbean seas, she is ALL FOR IT.

I think I'd be up for Maritime Mantid weekend more if I could get The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald out of my head.

That's Lake Michigan. It's said she never gives up her dead.

If the ship had left shore
And gone eight miles more
The boat would’ve been torn into kindling.
But the Mantids stayed docked
They were there to get rocked
And the Captain was buying more Yuengling.

Zaph wins!

Actually, it's Lake Superior--and ol' Gitchee Gumee in storm mode is actually frightening. The other four greats are impressive, but Superior is something else entirely.

And I can't not play some Gordon Lightfoot every stinking time we go to Duluth.
