Here's hoping whatever's in Andie's flask doesn't have too much of a kick. Zia looks perilously poised on the stern and, like any Carnipelagian girl, eschews the life-vest (and we thank her for that, aesthetically speaking).

Go-Go Dancer Andie Lee hosts a little trip through the Ombro Straights with her friend Zia. They're sunning themselves aboard the deck of the Moray, a small rumrunner that Andie refurbished with some help from Zia. The Moray was later sold to Rusty Naelhre, the lead singer of the Love Pops, when Andie decided to upgrade to another ride when she became a star at the Silver Seal. Rusty not pictured. Except in Genna Bonducci's imagination, perhaps.
