I didn't realize 50A was actually a thing. But I googled it, and sure enough, it is. Clearly, I am not nearly as hip as I like to think.

On shore. Busy morning with me getting my second dose and my wife getting her first dose of the Moderna vaccine. God bless the nurses and firefighters administering doses here in the LA area.

Ashore in 15 minutes myself. With a current this strong, a crate of booze cast adrift is sure to arrive soon.

Onshore - I might not have gotten this one if I hadn't read the book. My guess is lots of people have though.
