September 2011. The new Bushwacker makes it's first trip to the Delta where we find 90+ days and fresh water to swim in. What started out as a week trip turns into 5 weeks. We stay at Willow Berm Marina which gets an A+ from the crew. Great trip next year we reserved a spot for 2 months. Follow this link to the movie of the trip.

June 2011. It been a while since we went up to the Pacific Northwest so Karen and I jump on a plane and headed to Seattle. Guess what? Barry and Ann on the Abacus just happened to be going by so we jumped on. We toured all the way up Canada to Port McNeil at the top of Vancouver Island. Enjoy the movie. A special thanks to Barry and Ann for putting up with us.

Haul out 2011. The Bushwacker gets pulled out of the water at Grand Marina for it's first haul out. Things look real good and other than the bottom paint just being worn off it looks fine. Follow this link for the progress and the launching. We should be back in the water by weeks end.

Fleet Week 2010. It's been a few years since we were out to see Fleet Week and the Blue Angels. What a awesome hot and sunny weekend. The Blue Angels were fantastic as always. We were right up front and had some of the best seats in the house. Follow this link for the movie.

Labor Day 2010. Karen, Jack and I head out to Angel Island for the long weekend. We pick up a few other boats and start a raft up. Jeff and Phil also show up and the festivities start. It was such a cold summer on the bay. One of the coldest I can remember in years. We had a blast renting Segways, you have to try it!

July 2010 Capt. Mike gets the Bushwacker to San Francisco without a scratch. We had to spend a week waiting for better weather in Bodega Bay but Greg joins us and we make the best of it. We finally arrive in Alameda on July 4th. Jeff joins Karen, I, Mike and Sandy for a little celebration. Look out Bay area we are back! Follow this link for the movie.

May 27th 2010 Karen, Bill, Doug and I  head up to the boat thinking we were going to bring it to California for the summer, but mother nature has other plans, as she sends 7 straight days of weather our way. No worries we head out to Friday Harbor and enjoy 6 days on the boat. I think we will try again during the 4th of July. Follow this link for the movie.

March 27th 2010, We take a tour of the The Jacques Littlefield Military Vehicle Collection and see what has to be the largest private collection of tank and military vehicles around. Barry set up the tour and as you can see we had a great turn out. Glad everyone could make it out. I will add new pictures as I get them emailed to me. Enjoy.
