Happy New Year
31 December 2010 | Galveston Texas
Happy New Year to all from the good ship and crew of Hokule'a. I hope this night finds you with family and friends or at least somewhere beautiful. I am spending the night on the boat sitting in the cockpit fishing by lantern light. Exciting !! Well, I may splurge at mid-night and fire off a flare or something. It's a balmy night with no wind and fog. The water's mirror texture only broken occasionally by a fish jumping. Peaceful.
Hokule'a is coming along nicely. I'm really just waiting to get the cushions built for the vee birth, then I will be moving on permanently. Hopefully then I can get more to the business of re-building the boat. I've made no big renovations since last posting but I have accomplished a lot of small projects that make life on the boat more comfortable. The next big project is going to be the head ( Bathroom ). I will be ripping all of the existing out and rebuilding with more cabinets and a different plumbing plan. My plan will give me much more room and a simpler, easier to maintain head.
Ah... the fireworks and flares are starting already! Good thing about being on the water (especially with a mirror finish) is that you always have a good seat for the fireworks show.
Happy New Year

P.S. Resolution: Get Hokule's sailing by April, Live life slower, and don't stress the little stuff, or the big stuff for that matter.
