Tomorrow morning, I'm going to drive up to see Les for a bit and confer with him about boat jewelry.

That's fine, Dave, but don't be bothering Carl out back in the shop. They say you're supposed to work those diesels once in a while, it needs something to tow.

Don't worry Mike, I won't be bothering Carl....Bill and I agreed to do all we could to expedite all work that needs to be done at EQ so nothing will slow them down when our vessels get there! Wink

Not to worry about Dusty, okay?

Flotilla is now reduced to a single bote. C-Cat has a new home and leaves EQ this month.
TyBoo22 is for sale on the EQ website. Little Buddy is cool - my fleet of one. Les couldn't get around to installing hydraulic steering, Wallas, auto pilot, canvas, GPS, radar, and all the other goodies on TyBoo22 until summer - maybe.
So present plan (never changes, Les, honest!!) is a 90 Honda on Little Buddy and install a rocking chair. Little Buddy already has full canvas, a Wallas, hydraulic steering, GPS/ plotter/depth sounder, and the Angler cockpit is better for the fish I might catch if Jon and Cynthia will stay off the water... and a HUGE plus -- TyBoo Mike sez I can keep the dog!!

I just returned from checking out the action at EQ. Mike, your Tyboo continues to "shine" in the extraordinary care that Les provides!

As for Super Sized "Sea Shift" ....I just spent more $$$$.

I've just posted a loaded 16' C-Dory Cruiser for sale on the "Boats for Sale" thread. (Wife says 13 acres ain't enough room for domiciling two C-Dorys Cry

)

Just got word from Les, that he heard from the factory that they are real close to laying the hull on "SSSS".

Dave,

The last word I got late this afternoon was 12/10 for the keel laying. With the second shift up and running they're going through the process much more quickly and you've got to get down to the plant pretty quickly or the darn things done! I'm sure they'll have SSS done by the end of the month. Now I'm hoping I can get the trailer on time! Shocked

I used to count on that 4-week lead time. No matter, we'll still be able to bring the boat up even if we have to swap trailers once it's here. After all, I've only got about 6-months worth of installation chores. Wink

Fantastic Les,
I told Carol this morning that I'd soon be wearing out the pavement on I-5 between Arlington and Kent. They sure got "Da New Da Nag" done quickly!

Well, Dave, if you had gone with roofless model like DNDN, the SSSS would be just as quick.

Well, you know how those "trend setting" Californians are. They are always trying to get the women in their lives to go topless. Wink
