“ We joined the navy to see the world. And what did we see? We saw the sea!”

Any Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers fans here? When I was little, I watched A LOT of their movies including Follow the Fleet from 1936. This little dishcloth pairing gives me all of the nautical summer vibes and takes me right back to Fred singing on the deck of his ship.
