Re: Adrift
Did not see or hear about. Reading these posts agree with anyone being adrift longer than a few weeks would be suffering from salt water boils and ulcers. Proof of being in a boat so long would be given by showing his rear end which must either be a mass of open flesh or like leather. He should be nicknamed Rawhide and the song sung whenever he appears in public. John S.

Re: Adrift
Mention of Noah always reminds me of a question on the Pub Quiz in my local,(answered by a Blonde friend of mine), when asked the name of Noah's wife- 'Joan Of Ark'?
