Rusty boats and rustier trailers

[Gilligan]

What a drop-dead gorgeous day for working on the Hatt. Had to run the welding rig up there to extract a broken sea water pump mounting bolt. But all better now..launching on the 29th after a coat of fresh bottom paint goes on next weekend. Took a lot longer than I'd originally planned to get her ready to launch..but that's boats.

Taking her from Deale to Tall Timbers on the 3rd of October

Wasn't Rusty Boats your stage name when you danced with the chip and dales?

Good looking boat once you get the office staff to buff that Maroon hull out...

Only one of the two engines in the Hatteras is running. So we're taking my old faithful "other rusty boat" all the way to Deal to escort the Hatt back home. Cheap insurance...might blow $600 extra in fuel but avoid a $3000 tow if anything goes wrong.

Very nice but have you heard of the new flat screen digital televisions? Or do you carry the analog one as a spare anchor?

LOL...guess what?..a 45" flat screen has already been prepped to go there.

Most landlubbers think those are for bailing.

Nah. Nice head with LectraSan system... But the hot water heater is junk...gotta replace that.

It's really, really big Gilligan.

I am going to say you are the very first woman to say that to him.

I love it when you say that.

Butt seriously....I't my No. 2 son's new home when we get her in her slip at Tall Timbers. He's working on his captain's license...so the old boat can pay some of it's bills charter fishing.

Just wanted to say "Thank You" for working carefully around my boat. Long time in the family and irreplaceable.

Is this one of those trick photos that you have to stare at for a while before you see the rustier trailer?
