The Doomed Voyage: How the SS Minnow's 'Three-Hour Tour' Became a Maritime Legend

When you think of Hawaii, you think of long, lazy days on the beach, luaus, and some of the most beautiful water in the world.

Today I learned the S.S. Minnow boat from Gilligan's Island was named after FCC Chairman Newton Minow 🤯 🛥️

Yes, the Minow family is very proud of this and Dad's law partners gave him an SS Minnow lifesaver for his 90th birthday. He and Mr. Schwartz had a very cordial exchange of correspondence.

I have de-napped after work thing, re-opened the window, and am now doing anything else but writing while I wait for fish to show up.

/o_o\

Spending too much of my writing time lately being too burned-out to write, but at least fishing causes me to make small amounts of progress.

I have opened the fishing window finally, but I have a work thing in ten minutes so I don't expect to do much, if any, fishing before that.

I spent 45 minutes on the phone with a friend, and before that I was eating breakfast.

I did get a nibble while composing this toot, so: one minnow!

It is after 8PM and my gaming partner is online, so I am officially done writing for the evening .

My total for today's #SSMinnow voyage is:

1 Pike
1 Carp
2 Trout
25 Minnows

And 2282 words for #DemonsAlliance, which is now at 25% complete.

A friend of mine called from Ireland a little over an hour ago, so I took a break to chat with him. And took a shower afterwards because I spent the call pacing to get in some steps.

Sat down at my computer again and wrote fast to catch a minnow that showed up. I'm at 4 minnows and no other fish, and thinking about relocating to Pretend Coffee Shop.
