Sex, sex, sex!

Posted on May 8, 2011 by mkrauszer

Marine Biology Camp

Posted on April 18, 2011 by mkrauszer

The BAMF and the Bosun

Posted on April 2, 2011 by mkrauszer

I think we should take a moment to reflect on all the badass stuff I did on a boat. I should also probably mention the five-day storm that left us hove-to and clinging to our lives for the greater part … Continue reading →
