WILL LE PAPILLON EVER SAIL AGAIN???YOU CAN MAKE IT HAPPEN

All is not lost for the LE PAPILLON. We hear the angry dad might be considering options anywhere from salvage to restoration. Vote below whether you think LePapillon deserves a chance to sail another day. It might cost a fortune to right her, but it does have a steel hull, and all. Perhaps we could run a fundraiser to get her off the beach and back under sail. Saltaire often hosts fundraisers that make a lot of money for for hopeless causes. This could be one of the greatest fundraisers Dune 13 has ever seen. Bigger than "Save the Oak Beach Inn" or "Slow Down Moses." This can be our fundraising poem to Save the LePapillon:

"OLD STEELSIDES"

Aye, tear her tattered ensign down

Long has it waved on high

And many an eye has danced to see

That banner in the sky--

Beneath it slept some hapless kids

Oblivious to Saltaire's shore

The meteor of the Ocean's air

Shall sweep the clouds no more!

Her deck, once tread with untrained crew

Who were their own worst foe

When winds were hurrying o'er the flood

And waves were white below

Were doing something down below

They don't want dad to know

The harpies of the shore shall pluck

This victim of its crew
