[QUOTE="Thrarn Iranorn, post: 1094014, member: 11721"] Before Oldum boarded the boat, he searches the docks for as many flat stones as possible, picking each one up with a huge smile and placing them in his bags with care. Whenever possible, Oldum is above deck going as far as he can to the front of the boat. Leaning over the edge of the boat he watches the waves and currents lap up against the hull of the boat. On occasion, when the water current slows, he reaches into his bag and pulls out a stone and skips it across the water. He seems very good at this and the stones skip 10...15 times or more before falling into the water with a splash. If anyone asks he happily replies, [I] “That is why my friends call me Stoneskipper”[/I] Not wanting to anger the captain or crew, he tries his best to keep out of their way. When not above deck, he sits in the hammock swinging back and forth talking about his home, his adventures, and how he once skipped a rock 30 times. [/QUOTE]
