Well, I just happened to have the news on this morning on my way to a supplier for some materials. They are calling for another severe storm tomorrow with high winds, thunderstorms and torrential rain.
I just can’t….

From the age of the Clippers, the twilight in the era of the great sailing ships put on a show. This is on my "Yet-to-get" coin list and a great story behind this coin too.
