What a great feeling to be floating. When the boats are in the boat yard I don’t get any sleep knowing that everyday we sit up there it is costing money. The hard work and planning keeps us up at night. There is always the worry about the budget and what new broken thing we …
Here we all wait for the boat to be picked up so we can put the last touch of bottom paint on her and set her in the water. Here Juliana gets to be carried by Rob and Judy as we wait.
We are in crunch time on the boat. We go in the water tomorrow so Tracy and his dad ran the 37 today.They went south looking for the south dolphin pod and caught a nice 50 plus pound spearfish. They got in the dolphins and with a ton of pressure from other boats and caught …
