Its 11th of September 2008 and Lisa,Anastasia and Jacob got to see our new boat "Biscayne Bay" for the first time.Our thoughts are as follows:
Lisa....ever diplomatic said she thought it was fantastic,as she peered around the engine hoist still erected in the saloon.She is really positive and that is what I needed to hear at that moment,I knew the work I had organised prior to arrival would not be complete,thanks to the multitude of Tropical storms ,the latest being Hurricane "IKE",currently en route for Texas.
Anastasia.....hhhmmm which cabin do I want?And "Its OK!".......
Jacob......his standard "I dunno", said to me it was an OK thing and Anastasia will get her way!
Garry....It was my second time aboard phsyically and my 1108 time mentally, now I'm thinking ...."Wow"(censored for public viewing purposes) what the heck are we doing?
I wish some of my mates and family could be here to slap me on the back and say "MMMMMMAAAAATTEE" nice boat,and share an ale or two as we fix the ever increasing list of repairs, inevitable on a boat of this age and marginal neglect,as the last owners live in Puerto Rico and obviously lost interest a while ago.
Anyway a quick mental regroup assisted with a couple of Heinekens and I am back on track and back making repairs in my head at least.
Got to get alongside a marina.
Got to get the kids to Disney Land................
Best get another beer!!

Sounds bloody exciting dude, also sounds like you may still be in the Carib for a few rums by the time we get there! Cuba sounds good, a few mojito's and some massive cigars... Send more photos as soon as you can, really want to have a look at her.
Well, you are out here in the wilderness with the rest of us now, so have a few more heinies and fill the v berth with them as well...
Cheers
The repair list will only keep on getting longer, one off and 2 more will appear, they have a life of there own. It was great catching up with you last week, I'm back in Darwin starting on our repair listwhich has also growen while I was in Perth. Enjoy Disneyland and IKE if he gets close and let us know how you get on with all those bridges
