labor day week

keith, i am calling the dock master in the morning to get our slip #s, im gonna see if i can't get you a slip for saturday night, we might have to change our plans to go up to the naughty for dinner. might be a little ruff out in the bay, atleast jelly fish is straight across for you.
 
I still don't know where i'am staying. I got the babysitter for sat and sun or sun and mon. It depends on this storm. It might get a bit choppy but I think we should be alright as long as we don't get a lot of rain. Alot of rain usally will put a lot of trash floating down the bay.Either way unless earl comes up the bay I plan on being out. I'm calling marina again tommorow and if nothing new making other sleeping plans.
 
keith, i got ahold of the dock master, he said to ask him on saturday for you, he first said no at first but then he said to ask on saturday morning incase they have a open slips. im gonna call you on saturday morning to let you know hopefully before you leave your house. im trying to push him since were staying a couple of nights.
 
Sounds good. I'm not sure exactly when I'm leaving the house but will be in contact with you before I leave. I got the pics today finally there ok nothing real special I will bring them to show you before I make copys and send them back.
 
well keith you didn't miss much, saturday night was crazy, band was great, alot of people, i thought sunday night would have been the same, it was ok. i left at 10:00, wife went out till 1 or so and came back drunk. other than that there wasn't much going on. we came back on tuesday, not many boats on the water but man the water was rough. thats why i didn't make it over, really didn't want to go out to much with the baby.
 
Sorry I didn't get to hang out too long. Too many poeple with too many plans on my part. Damn girls!! Yes it was a bit rough I have many screws that need to be tightened we got beat pretty good. I have the wife convinced we need a bigger boat and it will be a smoother ride. I'm thinking 10ft longer lol
 
34 or 35 is a big boat, gonna need a new truck to pull it, don't think the escalade will do 11000 lbs. don't worry about the weekend, we'll be back down, don't know about this year or not but we'll be back down.
 
Believe or not I pulled the 25 with my jeep wrangler a few times!!. The ramps a mile from my house so I think I could get a 35 there. Should i no! but would i yes lol I'm gonna try to get out a few more times this year but nothing for sure. My winter project will be taking out the bolsters and rebuilding them. Found I have some soft wood in them after the screws fell out. Keep in touch
 
hey, if you are going to rebuild your bolsters do it in pvc. its lighter than wood and never rots. i rebuilt my passenger bolster in wood and the next week i talked to a guy that told me about pvc sheets. it will never rot and shed some weight. its worth the money, thats all he used on cockpit rot repair.
