I'm BACK...work interfers with my playtime.


70 degrees is a bit nippy for us -

so funny, it's been in the 30's at night here!

St Anna- love the animation!!! LMAO

(I'm going for the "good karma" today)- let me share....

My lovely, smart daughter is returning from the south pacific where she's been working in the yachting industry for 2 1/2 years. I guess a tsunami or two are good motivators. Let the progress of my gray hair be stilled...'til she sets out again. She was in American Samoa six days before it was leveled. So much drama...so little time, such is a mother's fate. Oh, did I mention she's moving in TEMPORARILY...hmmm, I move into a place that has the square foot of a walk-in closet and they still come home! Could 37ft be too big??? and the beat goes on....

Much sympathy to those who suffer the pain of removing thier vessels from the water- we used to put winter batteries in and keep a small heater onboard so we could visit on the hard, always made it to the boat on the first snow and Christmas!

NEW Fight: The tax evading capitalist that I am hates when marina rules are so stringent towards subcontractors that it's nearly impossible for the small businesses to do work on thier property. I have to have my boat shrink wrapped "off property" because the hard working reasonably priced folks I hired don't carry 2 million dollars of general liability insurance. (They only carry 1 million.) WTF?
