shaped thing and many small inlets and harbors dotted it’s coast. Many boats
and ships never went further than this and didn’t make the trip up the winding
Penobscot river to Bangor.</span></div>

shot out into the bay itself. Low and fast this Cigarette boat was designed for
one thing only; going fast. This one was rocketing along at over 90 knots!
Throttle wide open. Some would say it’s just a turbine engine attached to some
wood and fiberglass.</span></div>

the roar of the massive engines. The woman had shoulder length blonde hair that
snapping about in the wind and the spray like it was a living thing. She was
wearing a full body suit that could only be described as LOUD! It had broad,
bright green and blue stripes and looked more appropriate for a circus
performer. </span></a><span style="font-size:16.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">That
didn’t bother her. Since she had been Trickshot the Amazing! Worlds greatest
shooter. Using her astounding shooting skills to entertain audiences. At least

pottery jug of the type usually used in old movies to carry moonshine.</span></div>

offering at least protection from the cold wind and rain. Not that he needed
