Our Boat Cards

18 October 2008

This is the photo we have on our 500 new "boat cards". These are like business cards you exchange with other crews as you travel around and meet new people. Our old racetrack friend Bob Bloomer has been helping us with the printing of them; we used to train "White Mischief" for him a long time ago amongst other horses. Behind us is Seaforth Marina in Mission Bay.
The last two weeks have been a flurry of visitations with old friends at local restaurants in San Diego as well as multitasking our projects still to get done. I've been tied to my 'un-friend' the sewing machine, making folding bike bags, anchor chain locker liner and other vinyl delights for preserving things on board from the ravages of salt air and wave action.
Richard has thousands of pieces of paper stuffed in his pockets on which are written all the lists. You don't even want to know...
