Pat and Patty...............CONGRATS!!!!!

Just came on line here at a little after 8 AM and can imagine you must either be on your way to Auburn/DesMoines or anxiously pacing the floor at home (NOT)! Agreed.......Friday the 13th just didn't sound right. Hope you had a SUPER day in the new DAYDREAM and all went well! Very Happy

We are on our way to Auburn right now (9:00 am) to pick her up, and I am trying like crazy to convince Patty she must splash today (we drive right by the Coulon Park ramp on Lake Washington on our way), but Patty has a persistent cough, which has now by God become a matter of principle that she is not going to the doctor (I have been after her for at least the last two weeks), so who knows.

Pat,

Saturday has arrived and I can visualize you at the helm of the new Daydream. Congratulations on your new beauty...........ENJOY!

Hey Pat,

Is the Coulon Park ramp the one next to the marina where the guys sit on the dock and hold up score cards after each launching as if judges at an Olympic event? So, how did you score with your supersized rig?

If the guys are laughing too hard you can always give 'em one of these! Moon

Congrats,
Corwin

Patty --
A crab cake cures a cough!! Did Daydream float??

Pat Anderson · Posted: Sat May 14, 2005 8:37 pm Post subject:

We'll see if she floats tomorrow...today Patty was feeling too crummy, so we went straight home. I loaded up life jackets, fenders, and dock lines first off. Then got the wire baskets installed in the galley, and the fire extinguisher mounted. Patty is installing the privacy curtains right now (seems to have made a bit of a recovery since this morning), pretty soon it will be time for sundowners, we will sit in the cockpit and pretend!

We're with you in spirit -- and will hoist a sundowner in honor of your new family member. Congrats.

We will need a full report wiht pic's. Glad to see you finally got it. I hope patty feels good in the morning so she has a good day on the water. I just dropped the Susan e at les's for a bow gauard repair and I am already missing her. Susan went to portland so Iam with a wife or boat.

Pat & Patty,

Congratulations are definitely in order. We're so happy Very Happy

for you and looking forward to seeing the new Daydream. Patty, sorry to hear that you've been sick. Joe's been really sick this week, too. Achy body with a dry hacking cough and a 102 temperature. Will have to mention to him about the crab cake cure. He'll like that idea Smile

. Do hope that you get to feeling better soon and can get out and enjoy the new Daydream.

Until we see you again, take care.

Ruth & Joe

HOME AT LAST, Saturday 5-14-05!!!! First sundowner in the cockpit...Today (Sunday) we see if she floats!

Congratulations, finally. Everything looks good except the background. Should be water. I would guess the first water will be fresh, Lake Sammamish or Washington.

Got Anna Leigh back yestersay sans C-80, radar, and sounder. Looks great. Started installing the radios yesterday afternoon. Will finish up this morning. Re-adjusted the winch for height on the bow. Got a whole list of things to do. Probably won't put her back in the water now until next Sun after I return from Albuquerque.
Also made a couple of tracks for you to install under the forward deck in the v-berth to store the hatch screen.

Just playing around in Freehand, probably will change 50 times before I like it, but here is the general idea:

Pat,

She's looking good! I was just coming across I90 when you were getting on in Preston to head to the water. Have a great time on the lake!!
