It was good knowing you Paul. Hopefully you’ll make it through The Blackburn Challenge but in the event that the Great White Shark that’s been circling the Cape gets you I’d like you to know that I appreciate all your contributions to GMG.
PS will you turn your editing keys over to your daughter for the wikipedia editing on the GMG entry before the race?
TIA
Good Morning Gloucester 
I absolutely LOVE that scene. Robert Shaw actually wrote that himself and they did it in only a couple of takes. Amazing performance.

Paul, I have a scuba tank you can borrow in case you run into that great white, but I still think you’ll need a bigger boat!

Puss puss puss, I grew up in Indianapolis and I can tell you scarier stories than that.
Now the best line in that movie was not about getting a bigger boat. It was Hooper, played by Richard Dreyfus when they were comparing scars.
Pointing to a scar on his chest, “Mary Ellen Moffat. She broke my heart.”
I hated that movie but it was because I was working summers in the Cap’n Kidd in Woods Hole. After hours the bouncers would pack up a few cases and we all went skinny dipping including the waitresses and the dishwasher (that would be me.) Once that movie came out no girls went swimming at night for two years after hours. Even fresh water. Some dumb bouncer would start doing the “dum dum, dum dum” Jaws song.
