243. Peanut butter and banana sandwiches are one of the finest culinary dishes ever created.

239. When you sail in Salem Harbor, you gotta watch out for the fast power boats. They’ll just run you over if they’ve been drinking. I hate those stupid drunks from the yacht clubs.

240. A rock or brick thrown way-far up will pass through the windshield of a fast moving power boat that threatens to run you over or cause you great wake. You can evade the pricks in the shallows..heh

241. In the middle of the week, you can stay, play, hang out, sleep, whatever, on the really big boats out on their moorings. Some of them have radios you can use for music. WRKO in Boston had the best music for such piracy back then.

242. empty closed 2L pop bottles put in a fire will explode

243. Going 'roofing'(climbing random buildings roofs) is fun till a someone falls behind a barbed-wire fence.

259 While sailing In Hyannis, the *ennedy compound is really funny. If you land your boat on their beach, the pricks will come out and try to shoo you off. If you recite international maritime law regarding a vessel in distress to a *ennedy, they get really f***ing pissed-off.

260 Hyannis police like the *ennedys and don’t understand international maritime law. They also really hate wise-ass 11 year-olds who piss-off *ennedys.

261 If a Hyannis cop grabs your arm and twists it around your back…he’s about to tell you how things are. If you pee your swimsuit…it’ll rinse-off when he walks you to the water…as you leave the *ennedy compound beach.
