The Good ship it is said, never gives up it's dead

On a crystal clear day Lord Kadizzle just finished his motorcycle ride.  All seems to be in order the bums are have an early drink and all is well. On the way back to the Earth Module Kadizzle came across Gordon. Gordon is on of the Camp volunteers. Gordon leaves to go back to Alaska on the first.  Gordon will take the ferry to Alaska if he can.  As an ex employee of the ferry system he can go free if there is room, otherwise he will have to drive.

In the course of bull shitting with Gordon he reviewed his sea going career.  At one time Gordon worked on the great lakes ships.  It occurred to Kadizzle to ask Gordon if he ever sailed on the Edmond Fitzgerald.  Gordon was going to apply for a spot on the Fitzgerald, and said with his experience he would have got the job. However, Gordon had made up his mind to give up the sea life so he could watch his daughter grow up. There is  little doubt that was one of the best decisions of his life. The Edmond Fitzgerald is at the bottom of Lake Superior, and Gordon is still here fixing up the electrical systems for the Forest Service.
