The Tides of Thailand

When Dukey was in Thailand during his 90 day 11 country tour, he went from Bangkok to Pattaya. Upon arrival, he found out there was some kind of water fest. He checked into his hotel and opened up his window approximately five floors up. To his amazement looking at the ocean there were maybe 7 to 9 US naval ships. Seems like the American Navy knew about the water fest and brought a bunch of boats down to give them leave. The whole town was full of Americans. Dukey rented a wave runner and went out to the ships. Zipping in and out of aircraft carriers and battleships was some kind of exhilaration. This was back in 1989 and of course after September 11, 2001 you wouldn’t be able to get that close to military ships anymore, without getting blown out of the water that is.
