The best part of PICNIC is that you can use it in front of the SG -- "Wow," said with a sad shake of the head, "This problem looks like a real PICNIC." -- and get the SG to agree with you!

I WILL be trying that one out.
By the way, how was the cruise?

What do you mean "was"? I'm still aboard. Day 15 and still enjoying things. Four friends joined us today for the last 11 days and we've got one jolly table for dinner!
I've also been introducing select members of the crew to SGT's existence. I hope some drop in, say hi, and tell about floating SGTs.

Okay, okay, well, when you arrive back here, I expect a full trip report. And if you can get members of the crew signed on, that'll add a whole new dimension to SGT that we haven't seen before.
Pass on that we REALLY want to hear their stories!

Good job so far! Of course it's useless without pictures :)

I find Zazu's reporting very informative. I did not know he was older than myself. I do wonder what SWMBO means, me and acronyms, lol. It is informative and well written. I know or can look up pictures but I want to know the facts about a trip more than the pictures.
Excellent report Zazu and thank you very much.
I do know what a Nudibranch is. I took Zoology in my first semester of college and the teacher was a marine biologist. Some people eat sea cucumbers which are not much fun to hold. I try to avoid them sea slugs.

There's a lovely picture of our Zazu in the front of every PassPorter guide if you're curious. Of course, it's only, what -- 1/2" x 1/2"? so you'll have to take it to Kinko's and get it enlarged if you want to frame it and hang it on your wall. :D:
