Absolutely, Gary...and a turn at the helm! She is indeed looking like a boat now, isn't she!

Wow, you get up almost as early as my wife! I'm just the opposite. I would rather stay up till 2am and then sleep in till 9 or 10.
I'm definitely looking forward to the ride
BTW: check your PM's

OK, closing in on it...Interior as of 5-2-05. Did not connect with Scott M today, but probably NOT going to be done for Lopez, would have to be ready to roll 5-6-05, not looking likely...(thanks to David for the pix).

| OK, the official word from Scott Mathews today. No boat this week, no boat for Lopez. Delivery Wednesday, May 11th. Better not to rush, of course. |

| Fast forward to May 10...new boat WAS due May 11, and probably will be done tomorrow, saw it today, all that seems to remain is motor controls, gauges, swim step and radar arch. But C-Dory, to their credit, is a bit concerned about the issues that may be attendant on rushing boats out the door the minute the last screw is tightened...C-Dory is going to do a little more QC, check systems, and we are going for a sea trial out of Des Moines Friday afternoon, just to make sure hoses don't pop off, bilge pumps work, etc. Cannot argue with this, rather have it right than have it fast...there is light at the end of the tunnel!! |

Well Pat - maybe you can get out shrimping on Saturday then... Hope the boat turns out to be trouble free and all you've been planning for.

Hey Pat,
Great to hear the progress on your new boat! Been getting any sleep?

Couldn't agree more! After all, the time we wait for our boats is short compared to the time we will enjoy them.

Roger - yes, we will try some Puget Sound shrimping, but it does not COMPARE to the Hood Canal, where you are pretty much guaranteed to limit on those big, tasty fellas...
Corwin - actually, I do sleep pretty well, and you can guess what I am dreaming about! Recently, our last overnight in the old Daydream, at Blind Island, has been playing on the inside of my eyelids! |

I agree - but my wife and I did get our limits Sat. near Restoration point/Blake Rock without too much effort. Would have been done by noon if it wasn't for one lost pot that I looked for about 2 hours .... had two buoys and plenty of weight in the pot so I don't think it was lost to the current. I suspect it was either pulled by someone esle or accidently dragged into deep water by someone.... None-the-less, I'll be out there the Sat. also (with a newly purchased pot....)

Pat,
I'm certainly glad that Daydream is just about ready to splash! That means that Meander is only a week or so behind.   You might be able to sleep but I sure manage to stay up late looking at electronics, radios, safety gear and such on the net. Sure is fun though.

Splash is right, tomorrow some time in the afternoon, you should be able to hear us shouting "Hurray" all the way up in Vancouver when Scott Mathews takes us out of the Des Moines Marina for our shake down cruise...
So, for (our) Memorial Day weekend we are going to be in the San Juans / Gulf Islands from Saturday through Monday, May 28 - 30, where are you going to be?

Pat,
Wow, it sure is getting close. Our boat will be going up to Galleon Marine in Langley BC for rigging when its completed. We probably won't be able to splash ours until the first of June so its unlikely we'll have it rigged and ready for the Memorial day weekend. I sure do look forward to meeting up sometime and comparing notes though. Anne and I will have to make it a priority to get to one of the C-Brat functions soon. I'll be listening for the cheering tomorrow.

| Well, who in their right mind would want to take a new boat home on Friday the 13th anyway...Saturday the 14th is obviously a much more propitious date...Andrew has a bit more to do, and we had a slight issue (now solved) with the hook up for the trailer lights (hint - ALWAYS check for a blown fuse FIRST). So, about 10:00 a.m. tomorrow is the new plan. Got a few good pix of Meander for Ron anyway... |
