Did I mention the WARM CLOTHES?!
Let me share this with you. I had a wonderful
customer from Alaska, built with plenty of insulation, that
said the following: “I'm from Alaska.
I don't get cold in Florida”. Well, after a
short ride, the same gentleman came to me shivering and said
the following with chattering teeth:
“C-c-captain, I'mmm
f-f-freezzzzing!
D-d-do y-y-you have anny thing I-I-I
c-c-can wr-wrap uppp
w-w-with?”
Well, I took a blanket off the bed, and this is what he wore
for the rest of trip! I can' tell you how many times
this keeps happening! Bring Warm Clothes! I Do!
God Bless - Let's have the thrill of a
life time!
