These Sailor Puns Are So Good, Even Anchors Are Cracking Up

Last summer, I tried paddleboarding for the first time and introduced myself as “Captain of the High Puns.” Naturally, I spent more time making sailor puns than actually paddling; and fell in twice while yelling “I am just testing the waters!”
