When I made my bingo card for the summer, I didn’t put “Go out on a boat,” simply because I did not think it was in the realm of possibility. It was a pleasant surprise when Asanti said to be free this weekend so that I could join him and his friends on their boat adventure.

My Review of Netflix’s The Crown
