This episode is dedicated to all the seafarers who won't be home for Christmas or Hanukkah.  In this Christmas edition Special K tells us about the time Russians showed up to a family party and taught them to swallow lard and drink vodka. Turns out these Russians were from a nearby salvage tug in Baltimore harbor. What did Soviets drink onboard this tug in the 80's? I'll give you a hint, it's not water. Special K has a big heart and shares his experience adopting a family during Christmas time to help the less fortunate. He also talks about getting shot in the knee, German beer, model ship building, Australia, and Jojo Siwa. I apologize for the sub par audio. I tried a new method of recording and it didn't go well. Never the less, I enjoyed sharing some beers and conversation with an old friend.The books that were mentioned regarding model ship building were: "Ship Models How To Build Them" Charles S.

Just last year, Ted stared into the eyes of a young Filipino sailor as he attempted to pull him to safety on the gangway of a ship in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.  Ted did not succeed in saving that young Filipino sailors life, but he has some advice for those who may be in a similar situation some day. Ted has a checkered past with some very shocking things to share. He once fled the U.S. to Brazil to escape a legal situation. He lived there for several years before coming back to the States to face the music. While he was in prison he once shared a cell with a famous necrophiliac cerial killer, found God, and saved a young man from getting raped. Sounds like a book right? Don't worry, he is writing one.Smooth sailing....You can share your sea stories with me by emailing theshipslogpodcast@gmail.comSupport the show
