Well, we've not got long to prepare ourselves...
Anyone seen my rubber duck?

I thought that surfers were stereotypically "dumb blondes" and unable to spell anyway - so miss-spelling "hear" helps the surfer image. Hmmm.... that wasn't a nice thing to say, was it?

Knowing how this expedition has been led, it sure will take some time...

Why can't we make it 200? Don't want to rush ourselves. Afterall, there's never any hurry with a rubber duck.

There is a fast food joint somewhere...
I don't know if Joanna is serving doughnuts in this thread or not - if she is, you can ask her.
But eating and swimming is a very bad idea, you know.

I promise to wait half an hour for the food to go down
