Best Of

Astoria Oregon till Sunday. 

I put her in!

She was ready to splash but with an expected crappy weekend I didn’t plan to launch but wanted to get the dock box, the new (to us) dinghy down to the club and fenders and lines on ready. So loaded up the Admiral’s Pilot Trailsport - that thing has more room than the Highlander we had, box slid in with room to spare all round -  headed down and got lines and fenders on. A storm was brewing apparently around 30 minutes away but the water was up so screw it, got a friend to grab a truck and get her in. Tied up at the ramp and it poured for another 30 mins but once done she fired up like I ran her yesterday. Docked at home slip, spend the afternoon while it rained again getting inside wiped down, water systems purged, checked AC (yes! it self primed this year) and changed out a noisy mid bilge pump.

Nice to be in, let the season begin!

You guys are all awesome!  I gotta say, yesterday was a day that I’ll never forget and couldn’t have been better!!  Our daughter sure has grown up.  Walking her down that aisle is something every father dreams of their little girl!  I’ll stick with the topic and post another picture from rehearsal day showing a selfie of my daughter and I and the long walk down the steps to the arbor on the water.  For a girl that never knew anything except boating and water, it’s only appropriate for this type of setting, When I actually have a picture from the day…yes, I did not carry my phone and only soaked up every single moment…I will post it here.

Big day today.  I get to walk my daughter down the wedding aisle.  She’s getting married today.  Pics are the venue during rehearsal yesterday 

Painted the bottom this morning.
