The Captain’s Quiz 8: Summer Side Up

I knew it had been a long time since the last Captain’s Quiz, but I didn’t realize the last one was in January! Someone should’ve said something. Oh, you did? Okay.

The title of this quiz is: “Summer Side Up” which is a play on “Sunny-side up”, except this has nothing to do with eggs, but everything to do with summer being associated with the sun and…you get it.

The questions in this quiz will all be related to Summer, in some way.

Let’s do it.
