"Stairway to Heaven" was the subject line on the email Mark Bettis sent us containing this month's World Famous L38 Caption Contest(!) photo. And like the song of the same name (released by Led Zeppelin in 1971), the list of entries this month was long, crescendo-ing, and seemed as if it would never end. We mean this in a good way. This month's CC(!) was a bit off kilter, and inspired all manner of clever comments. Well played, Nation. Aaaaaannnnnnd the winner (and top 10 runners-up) is (are):
"Curing your sailing addiction is more than a 12-step program." — Mike Turner "Dang it! Gonna have to run and get another ladder to reach the masthead." — Greg Torok "There's gotta be a better way to string Christmas lights!" — Laurie Morrison "Do you call OSHA or the Coast Guard?" — Lee Blaireau "That ladder has more extensions than a hair salon!" — Jeanne Evans "Should I call 911 now or wait for the sound of thump then splash?" — Jim Major "Just a little confusion between bosun's chair and Jacob's Ladder." — Patrick Broderick "Hold my beer. On second thought, I'll just take it with me." — Bill Willcox "That powerboat threw up a big wake and now the rigger is missing." — Admiral "The two most useless items on a sailboat. This is one of them. An umbrella is the other (I think), according to L.F. Herreshoff." — Tom Woodruff
"Now I have been There and Back Again. The epic has run its course. After a year of being the only boat on the horizon, I am, suddenly, just another car on the road. I am, again, a regular Joe, which is not at all disagreeable, but it's a bit like jumping into a cold pool. It takes some getting used to." — Randall Reeves on life back onshore
