3 Years in the Making...today is the Day

Post by richandlori »

3 Years in the Making...
Capt Rich
09/28/2008, Today is the Day

The Crew is sitting with me here in the salon going over our safety briefing, eating hot dogs and talking about how it doesn't seem real that we are actually about to cast off the dock lines! The "list" is close enough and the boat is ready and most importantly, Lori is preloaded with Dramamine!

It's about a 24hr trip from Port San Luis to Channel Islands Harbor where we will stay for a day before heading to Catalina Island for about a week.

All the best to all my Mac Friends, where this dream first started!

God Bless

Rich

You have a whole bunch of people here wishing you and your family the best.

You've come a long way since the Enterprise C (Did I recollect the name properly?). Don't forget to send in your absentee ballot :D I can't believe this liberal just asked you that.

Fair winds Rich. Be well and be safe.

After being on the boat for a year, I find it hard pressed to give advice.

Have a great trip.
