    Graveyard of the Atlantic

    “Graveyard of the Atlantic is a nickname of treacherous waters and location of numerous shipwrecks off the Outer Banks of North Carolina.” “Along the Outer Banks, navigational challenges posed by the Diamond Shoals area off Cape Hatteras, caused the loss of thousands of ships and an unknown number of human lives. More than 5,000 ships have sunk in these waters since record keeping began in 1526”

    Last I recall, it is the topmost budding leaves on the tea plant when harvesting to make tea.

    It’s the top three leaves. And if you want “white” tea, you have to pick them really early in the morning before they are fully open and still have silvery hairs on them.

    And if Mick Jagger and Keith Richards sang a duet, they would beat the Zimmers total age (I know it’s not true, I am just in one of THOSE moods today)

    Never heard of The Zimmers, but I have heard of a similar group called Young At Heart. There was even a movie about them that I saw. These senior citizens sang a rocking rendition of “I Wanna Be Sedated” among other things.

    That’s why it’s the Cape of Good Hope. Hope is often what you’re left with.
