Well it's been a busy spring and summer. We haven't used the boat as much as last year, for a good reason. We have twins on the way. A boy and girl. We can't wait to welcome these children into our world. In the meantime, we have been busy with the house and the boat. The house has been stripped of all lead and all the old kitchen cabinets have been removed. Heck, we redid the whole kitchen, and the babies rooms. We have only sailed day trips this year because I don't want Janet sleeping on that crumby matress. I'm not fond of it either, but we still have managed to get out a lot this year. I think we've only used a full tank of fuel for the whole summer. We are a lot pickier this year. We only go out when there is enough wind to sail. Tucker loves the boat too. But he loves to swim with me more than that. If I jump off, he follows right behind me. It's hell getting him back on.
Anyway, the babies are due October 23rd, but I know they will be delivered early by C section. Probably in two weks, September 21st is my bet. The girl is bigger than the boy right now. But they are kicking Janet like crazy. I love you Janet. Your my girl. Soon, we'll be a family. :-)

Me and Janet will have huge news to share in the coming weeks. Don't you just love suspense? Don't you just hate not knowing? I know, it's killing me too.

It looks like we're done with sailing for the season. It was a very disappointing fall. We had trouble with the fuel system after we got back from Shelter Island. The weather on the weekends was horrible. Me and Janet had too much to do as we combined belongings before I move into her house. The slowing economy means longer work hours while everyone is holding onto their pennies. Janet had to go to Pennsylvania for two weekends for training so I drove her there. I worked in the hotel room on my laptop. That blew two nice weekends. Then we worked in the shed doing some organizing for two weekends. The remainder of the fall was shockingly cold.
So I'll be packing up the boat this weekend and trying to winterize what ever I can. We need to unload everything this time. I am going to remove ALL the sails this time. I have to still finish the sail cradle boot cover. I might do some more wood finishing before it gets too cold. Until then I'm going to finish working on my second custom surfboard which I will keep on the boat next year for some quick waves. There were a lot of times that I wished I had my board.
Hopefully by spring we will have some good news to share with everyone......a little first mate on the way?
