Thanksgiving 2005 Are the holidays
really here already? We had a great Thanksgiving dinner with
Dennis and Susi. The next day Barry and I head north to visit
Jeff and Lori and see what progress they have made on the new
house. We also want to test some of the award winning wines and
make some more for next time. |

18,2005
Karen and I spend the weekend shoveling snow
from the marina docks as we dig out of one of the years worst
winter storms. What the HELL am I saying? We did no such thing
in California. It's more like went to Treasure Island for a
great sunny weekend. No Worries joins us for dinner and a movie.
Summer is NOT over yet. |

October 1, 2005 We take
the final trip of the summer to the Pacific Northwest. We get a little
rain but overall it was a great trip. The summer season had
ended so we had the place to ourselves. I even look forward to a
Canadian Christmas. I do have one question, explain Canadian
Thanksgiving to me? It is an inside joke, buy me a beer and I
will tell you about it. |

September 1st, 2005 As summer winds down we make a last
ditch run for Angel Island in hopes of one last hot, sunny,
party weekend. Bill and Jeff join Karen, I and Mr. Luke. The sun
does show up finally. I must say that was a weak summer. I guess
it seems short because we didn't do to the delta this year. That won't
happen again, the bay is just too cold and foggy in the summer .... |

August 17th
2005 It's haul out time again. Well, not really, we went to
install the generator and the thru hull had been plugged and
filled in by the previous owner (before John). Rather than drill
it out in the water we took the safe route and were going to
hang it in the sling. While we were out Tim at Svendsens made a
bold statement that he could pull the Bushwacker out and cradle
it for a bottom job.
Generator Project Completed. On time and on Budget. |

 |
August 1st, 2005. I head
off to the Pacific Northwest to help Barry put the Abacus
through it's sea trials. After a few modifications were out on
the water and having fun. I'll add to this as we go as we have
wireless everywhere we go thanks to
Broadband Xpress.
Somebody in the bay area needs to get a clue. |

events of Summer 7-29-06 2005. 51' Power boat hits the rocks.
See it here.. Next week off to the Pacific Northwest to the new
boat. What happen to summer? This was a short one. |

June 17th 2005. New additions drive up
power consumption. Unlike California we started preparing for
the new power plant before we needed it. Jeff proves that he can
not only make fiberglass race car parts, but can build a
generator platform for the Bushwacker. To think this is
where it started 10 weeks ago. See 8-17 for the conclusion to
the project. |

 |
June 7th 2005. Needing some
excitement on the boat, I decided, with Karen and Chuck's help,
to replace the aging Entertainment Center with some state of the
art electronics. 42" plasma TV, Dell multimedia PC w/ wireless
keyboard and mouse, new DVD collection, computer network and
wireless internet. Out with the old VCR, CD player, 150 VCR,
tapes, 600 CDs, Say hello to 2005! |

Memorial Day
2005. Some said winter would never end. The local weatherman
predicted fog and cooler weather for the weekend. We all said
"piss off you don't know what your talking about" and as usual
we had great weather and a great spot in the cove. |

Gary is incapable of keeping up on news that happens in Sonoma
County and therefore decides a new webpage is in order.

County building inspector that day workers need bathroom breaks
just like the rest of us.... who knew? Warning - large
