There is nothing more important than family. We are lucky enough to have our sons and their beautiful ladies living close to us. We had a great lasagna and salad dinner this night with chocolate chip cookies and brownies with nuts and caramel for desert.
For years I have been kind of looking for a topper for my pickup truck. I finally came up with a rational justification as to really needing one - the new sailboat. In order to cart all the stuff back and forth I need to protect the cargo from the weather and sticky fingers. I did find a nice used one, though. Take a look.
Here is a picture of much of the stuff I will be carting down in the next week. I am still waiting for a big order from West Marine to arrive and have a little more shopping to do.
Here are some more pictures of my new "hole in the water." I have decided to call the boat ÖBO, which is Swedish for Islander. The first O has those two little dots over it (umlaut). Anyone know the correct pronunciation?
This is a picture of the Islander 32 sailboat that I just purchased in San Carlos, Sonora, Mexico. This is a long-held dream of mine that has finally come true. I am in the process of trying to decide on a new name for the boat. Anyone out there got any ideas? Any sailors out there?
