Me writing from my safe and cozy bed in the AFT Berth....

WEll I haven't had a chance to get on here in a few days.. ok... maybe a few more than a few days... I've been studying my Resucue Diver manual..and Divemaster... and playing a little ...and working a little!! Anyway.. I will start with today... Eddie is laying down the hardwood floors... as I am lying in the comfort of my bed.. in the Aft Berth.. I hear him groan and moan every so often.. and I'm sure he is just exhausted. He has been working on this for atleast 7 hours...and you know when you get into a project... you sometimes can't stop. (ok..well for me... I start lots of things..and do stop..) ;) but not when its a project like this... it is really starting to look great... but now he is having a little difficulty around the edges... the floor isn't flat and its hard to get it down. Nonetheless... it looks AWESOME! I'm really happy with the way its turning out! .. ok...hold on... alright.. he is stopping.. I just told him he should and he already said he was.... so here are a few pics that I took... while I was sitting up in the companionway looking down.... oh..and look at the dogs.. they are really bored.. I think I will go and take them on a walk... while Eddie stares at his crafty handywork for the next hour or so.... !!! I can't wait to see it all done!!! Next stop..sanding..and varnishing..... FUN FUN!

08/19/2006, The beautiful blue....

Well today was a GREAT SAIL.... yesterday Chris and his Mom drove down to finally go sailing with us. Unfortunately the weather was pretty dull... and there wasn't much wind. It didn't matter.. we were all going to have a great time.. no matter what! So we decided that we would go and have a few drinks at our local pub..and have a few appetizers before heading out. After a few hours of catching up...and teasing the boys about old times...we went back to the boat to get her ready. Unfortunately there was no sun to be seen. BUT we had a few beers and great company...and we were go out sailing...even if powered by the motor...with the sails up...:) ok.. we cheated a bit...hahha
anyway..after "sailing" a bit...the boys went out and snorkeled to catch our normal,as of late, meal... meaning.. lobster! I never thought that I would say this...but I'm a little sick of lobster...hahahhaa...ok..yes.. life could be worse! I could of had to pay for it!.... so anyway.. the boys caught just enough for dinner...and it was great!

Fast forward to today...the 2nd day... we got ready to go out..and realized that it was still too early and the tide was still low..so we all drove down to Holiday Isle to have lunch and maybe do a little shopping. We had lunch on the water...and it was turning out to be a beautiful day! The sun was beaming! Wind was picking up...and we were just a little excited, to say the least, about our next sailing adventure...AND this time..we had our scuba tanks....on a mission..to YES...get more lobster!... why not...? hahaha
Of course I can catch them... but I'm definetly NO LOBSTAH SLAYAH!!..hahaha.. I hate hurting and killing things... even if it was for food. I can't bare to even think about what Eddie does to these poor lil ugly tasty crustaceans...:)...ok, ok..enough of that! This mental image is horrifying me!! :)

Well it turned out to be an excellent day!! Just absolutely beautiful...and the wind was just enough for us to turn off the motor.... ahhh...peaceful! Just the listening to the wind in my ears..and watching the water rush by....ohh and yes.. we caught the lobster..and yes.. once again.. ate a wonderful dinner....even if it will be my last lobster for awhile...yeah....RIGHT!

So here are some pics from today!! Enjoy!
