S.O.S!


This is my big sister. Looks like she has some issues. She made the mistake of going out in Elliot Bay with much less than a sea-worthy craft. Her original intent was to mosey over to Alki Beach and eat a picnic lunch there, but she soon realized she had forgotten a paddle. As a result, she floated around for hours. It kinda sucked. But at least she didn't have a bear on board with her! Anyway, she ended up all the way north of Ballard. Holy cow. Well, as darkness fell, she realized she had to do something to get home safely, so this is a picture taken by a tanker coming to rescue her as she waves her bandana. Let this be a lesson to anyone who might think about making a boat and sailing it to Alki Beach! I'm sure there's hundreds of you in a similar situation, so I'm just trying to save you from the embarrassment my sister went through.

why does she have a greek flag?

Just ask her about her Greek heritage. I'm sure she'd be proud to tell you. Our name, Ehli, comes from the Greek word "Ehlos," which means "fair-skinned." We're light folk for Greeks.

are you serious? i read greek, but i have not heard that word. what you are saying makes since, because the plural of ehlos would be ehli. but how would you spell that using the greek alphabet?

your sister told me that you made up "ehlos", but it was a good try.
