Sounds like a Swampers function to me! This look familiar....didn't someone bring this up for one of the holidays last summer? Sounds like fun. Do we draw straws to see which 12 Swampers get to go?!?!?
OP
I would like to do this pontoon/dive cruise for sure!!!
Hey Dee, we could get Nick and Paula, Jill and myself, and you and Beast and fill half the boat, sounds like a good time.
OP
