When you start looking for a bilge swab and co-captain, let me know. She does look cool. Going to take lot of rum to keep me down from riding at 7 kts. But I can get close to an original Gardner Diesel engine.
Yeah, the Rat would make a great tender for this little ship. I did send the picture and the idea to wifey yesterday (she is in Fort Lauderdale hanging out with girl friends.) No great or no positive response like: Honey, let’s do this.. Holly Cow, what a great idea you came up with just now.. Nada..Maybe a different wife or a different boat, or both. Stay tuned.
Rum can be arranged, in fact the ship will carry wast quantities of it. Yes, life in the slow lane, I am all for it, cruise in style, no rush. What is your hourly rate? (Strictly engine room work and some gourmet cooking in the galley, no sex change needed but what the hell, send before and after pictures, who knows..)
