​Suzi’s Cover Letter:

Ahoy!

I’m a very open girl and I’m open about seaman. I mean, it’s crucial to making life! I was a wiz in health class. I am a little confused with what seaman has to do with decks, unless it’s, like, a polisher or something.

My first encounter with seaman was in Bobby Johnson’s car. He asked if I could but all hands on deck, so I did, and then… 

And… I can lift heavy men. There was this one dude in college that like being body slammed by girls. Weird. But kinda fun!

One time I dressed like a hot sailor for Halloween and won!

Let’s Shove Off Together,
Suzi
