Just had another great dinner on board the Stahlratte. We are 13 souls on board from beautiful countrys such as Antarktica, Greenland, Auenland, Entenhausen, Tomania and Disneyland...Most of the day we do nothing, eat to much and talk a lot of bullshit. At least most of us do...Life is good!!! (wenn nur nicht dauernd dieser gruen-brockige musikalische Schleim uebers Schiff rinnen wuerde...;)
