    Nice boat, nice lines, wow.

    Dear Santa: Hopefully this boat has a Big walk-in engine room, lots of space for big guys to service the engines, the generators and every other piece of equipment down there.
    Also Santa: No external teak or other external wood products needing maintenance the next 50 years.
    Nice railings, nice proportions, quite elegant, maybe there is hope.

    Dear Norseman! Just met Santa, he sends you his regards and many thanks for handing in your wishes in time. Specially bigger ones take some more time and he has to find a sledge big enough for your present, and some friend of Rudi, helping out in front of the sledge. Also, he hopes it's OK for you, if it is not gift wrapped? And he his happy that you live right next door (acc. your name), so its easier to deliver.

    Thanks for passing on the wishlist Mr. MountainGuy, yes it is acceptable to deliver the tub with no gift wrapping.
    Now it will be a long wait for Christmas.
    Thanks again :cool:

    Me too… IMG_8337.jpeg

    We have signed up for a cruise on one of the Mega Ships, not sure if it is a good idea or not so we are only doing a 4 day from Fort Lauderdale to Key West to some private island in the Bahamas then back to FTL, just to test the waters..:cool:
    (I can handle it having worked in the Merchant Marine, but mama is sceptical)

    This exclusive island is named CocoCay.
    Never heard of it, did a Google search; It is good old Little Stirrup Cay in the Berries, remember it well from my sailing days.
    Guess the new name fits a marketing plan for the cruise ship industry, like the current Paradise Island close to Nassau, it was originally named Hog Island. (Guess they killed and raised pigs there in the old days)
    Hope this 4 day Celebrity Cruise won’t be a fake Las Vegas on water.
    Wish meBon Voyage..o_O

    Docks for sale in Palm Coast.
    (I don’t get no commission, no nothing)
    Just a heads up in case somebody wants to retire and move to North Florida, like we did 3 years ago.
    This is the marina we are on, could use a few good neighbors and turn this into a Fort Lauderdale Light. Too quiet now.:cool:
