w-lightnin:
Grom- Short for Grommet....def- derogotory term for a young aspiring boater without a clue who is mostly responsible for his own carnage...aka tool. Spawned from the loins of Crom in a land known as LochGnarr.

pbiz:
He has recently co-authored a book with Richard Bangs, Mystery of the Nile, published by Penguin Books which chronicles the expedition.
