IN THE WATER AT LONG LAST >>> HOO RAY

HERE IS THE KELL OF THE BOAT THAT WAS REPAIRED, IT HAD A CRACK IN IT FROM BEING RUN ASHORE TO MANY TIMES. THE LIFT IS LINEING UP TO TAKE US TO THE WATER JEFF IS THE MAN DRIVING THE LIFT.

I AM STANDING AT THE BACK WATCHING THE LIFT GETTING IN PLACE.

JEFF IS ALMOST IN PLACE TO START THE LIFT. AND I AM NOW IN THE FRONT OF THE BOAT. IT IS JUST STRATING TO RAIN.

JEFF IS PLACEING THE STRAPS TO LIFT.

THE STRAPS THAT LIFT THE BOAT.

STRAPS ARE READY TO START THE LIFT.

LIFTING

AND WE HAVE LIFT OFF

GONE WE ARE ON THE MOVE TO THE WATER.

AND AWAY WE GO.

WAITING FOR JERRY TO BRING THE GAS FOR THE BOAT, WE DON'T HAVE MUCH IN THE TANKS TO GET TO THE PUMPS SO HE HAS GONE TO GET GAS IN THE MARINES TRUCK WITH A TANK IN THE BACK. WE HOLD ABOUT 240GALLONS OF GAS AT $3.00 PER GALLON SO ABOUT A 500 DOLLAR BILL TO FILL IT UP AND THAT IS AT THE CAR PUMPS, THE MARINE'S PUMPS ARE $5.20 PER GALLON NOW THAT WILL BE A BIG BIG OUCH TO THE BANK ACCT.

AND WE ARE IN THE WATER AT LONG LAST. WE ARE LEAVING THE HOTEL ON SATURDAY WHICH IS TOMORROW AND GOING TO LIVE ON THE BOAT THIS WILL BE FUN.

WE HAVEN'T GOT ALL THE BUGS WORKED OUT OF GETTING OUT INTERNET TO WORK ON THE BOAT YET BUT HOPE TO HAVE IT WORKING SOON. SO IF WE DON'T POST ANYTHING ON HERE THAT IS WHY.

OH YEAH WE ARE THE TALK OF THE MARINA THOSE CRAZY CANADIANS THAT ARE GOING OUT AND DOWN THE MISSISSIPPI AND DON'T KNOW HOW TO DRIVE A BOAT.

OH WELL WE ARE GOING TO GET LESSONS FROM SOMEONE THAT KNOWS HOW TO DRIVE A BOAT OF THIS SIZE.

WE HAVE MET ALOT OF NICE PEOPLE HERE TOO.

SO BYE FOR NOW.
