Glad This Is Over...
Figures we pick a 25+ knot day to haul. Ugh. Read title. Appreciate. Appreciate husband's driving skills. Appreciate co-worker along for the ride as line handler.
Meerkat looks alot bigger out of the water! :) I'm glad it's over for you too...boats in the air are not natural I think either. Thats how are boat is lifted but by giant fork lifts. Scary as hell.
We cruised Mexico's West Coast for 3 years on our prior boat, "Thistle" a Columbia 50. Went back to California in 2000 and bought the "new boat" in 2004. We then spent a year and a half cruising in Mexico. We just did the "Baja Bash" ~ sailed up the outside of Baja and returned to SoCal! We are We are now back to work for awhile...
A thought we say to ourselves everyday:
"You'll only regret the things you didn't do".
"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." ~ Mark Twain
"Life is either a daring adventure or Nothing." ~ Helen Keller
"A ship in harbor is safe, but that is not what ships are built for." ~ John A. Shedd
"Make it happen." ~ Alan Burg of the sailing vessel Toshal
"Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take but by the places and moments that take our breath away." ~ Anonymous
“Happiness is not having what you want, but wanting what you have.” ~ Rabbi Hyman Schachtel
"Make 'someday' today." ~ From inside a Dove candy wrapper

Oh, we could clean the bottom now!
We? Come on out! The bottom cleaner who "supposedly" cleaned the bottom about a week ago did NOT do a very good job. See ya in a few!
I was thinking that this boat is spotless. Gee.
