Chiles - she looks great, classy old boats we have, look like real boats and not Clorox bottles. Talked to the yard about AJ today and they promise she will splash in 2 or 3 weeks. Maybe get her back before TSL (we blast off three weeks from this Friday, guys), hate to leave her in New Orleans after the start of hurricane season.......
Doc, if you read this, my electronics guy from SeaTrac went to the yard last week to change out the crushed SSB antenna you kindly gave me, and could not unscrew it from the base. You sent it to me with the base attached, so I never unscrewed it, so it may have been on there for a zillion years. Anyway, to show you how good SeaTrac is, they i.d.'ed it as an obsolete Rupp base, rooted around in their warehouse, and found the identical base (holes match), new in the box.
SeaTrac is the best. Also changed out the smashed SiTex SP 70 autopilot head. I love doing business with competent folks who give a crap about their customers.
Heading down to Venice, La. tomorrow afternoon with Garry "High Pockets" Jordan and his buddy Tony to fish monster marlin for a couple of days with a top marlin charter guy. Will be my first venture down there on the ground since Katrina.
Won't be back on the computer until Sunday after about noon tomorrow, so ya'll think granders......
