A Great Day
Well, to those of you with year-round sailing weather, this won't mean
much...but it was near 60's degrees in NY today and we started to get Alien prepped for the Spring. I've given Suzanne a "get out of boatwork free-card" since she is now pregnant! My friends and I re-checked the sails and test started the engine, replaced a jury rigged wiring harness for the stereo and VHF....we spotted a sloop enjoying the day! Spring is nearly here!

Congratulations Bubbles.
The pregnancy confirms that you are indeed nutz :-) Yes indeed. She's due in September. Reading all I can on babies/kids and boats. RB |
A Great Day
Bob claimed:=20
I've given Suzanne a "get out of boatwork free-card" since she is now pregnant! What?!?! Why shouldn't she take care of her own boat just because she's = pregnant???? I'll buy that she shouldn't be using VC bottom paint or = other chemical compounds like that, but for the love of Pete, there's = nothing wrong with Simple Green, a rag, and some hot water. Preganancy = is a natural condition. Women bore their babies in fields while working = and then continued on afterwards for centuries. =20 --=20 katysails s/v Chanteuse Kirie Elite 32 http://katysails.tripod.com "Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea." - Robert A.

What?!?! Why shouldn't she take care of her own boat just because she's =
pregnant???? Katy, you answered your own question. She should not be around the varnish, cetol or bottom paint, nor does she need to be breathing in all of the cleaning chemicals. I have plenty of boat work volunteers and Suzanne is in her final year of school, while also working at two hospitals and now carrying a baby. RB |
A Great Day
but for the love of Pete, there's nothing wrong with Simple Green, a rag, and
some hot water. Sure there is. We generally don't work on the boat one chemical at a time. While the girls clean up the interior next weekend, I'll be stripping the pedestal with solvents. Your advice is not well considered, or perhaps you have a more methodical procedure for boat work than we do. RB |

A JOB!!!! I currently work 3 jobs and this week I'll be meeting with my partners to discuss a deal to open a West Indian take-out restaurant. In addition to this I have about another year or so before my book is completed. And yes, it's on sailing...and YES it will be published. My little ebay-boat gear venture has done 4K in just two weeks, though this is a barter deal. I'm paying for everything boat-related in this manner, including a new dodger and even next winter's storage. It really worked out nicely. Suzanne works just as hard, being a full time nursing student, doing an internship and also working as a CCP in her "spare" time. RB |
A Great Day
Congrats. Make sure your air conditioning is working - we had ours in August
and Claudia was running the A/C while it was still snowing! And remember, although common wisdom is that baby's first words are when they're about a year old, if you listen carefully, you'll hear them say about 5 seconds after birth, "buy me a house! in the suburbs!"

and Claudia was running the A/C while it was still snowing! Alien has no central air. I still have one more of those cruisair portables. Anyway, this season won't be much a of factor. The baby won't sail until the following season and that should be on the bigger C&C which does have built in AC. Adding the dodger and integrated awning this season was mainly for Suzanne's comfort, but I'm sure it'll be nice for everyone. RB |
A Great Day
OzOne scribbled thusly:
Congratulations Bubbles. The pregnancy confirms that you are indeed nutz :-) Don't blame me, Jax is the _real_ father. I figure one more welfare kid should put us over the top. RB |
A Great Day
The A/C is needed for the pregnancy - I guess you haven't got to that point yet

Congradulation Nutsy,
Should be a great kid! Ole Thom was born in Sept. A VIRGO! That a good sign! A Child born of love and the depth of winter. Watch out for Susy, Nutsy, she is carrying through the hot summer month. Make the allowances Make "Alien" the Queen's Barge this summer. Good wishes for Susy and you. Ole Thom |
A Great Day
The A/C is needed for the pregnancy - I guess you haven't got to that point
yet She's 13 weeks in. I have the portable Cruisair and the dodger/awning installation started today. The heat was never a big problem for Suzanne...she's sensitive to the cold far more. I make whatever adjustments are needed for her, of course. R. |

Make the allowances Make "Alien" the Queen's Barge this summer. Good wishes for Susy and you. Thanks, Thom. That's the plan, to make it the "Queen's barge!" We're still hoping to make a few short trips, though we probaby won't sail to Martha's Vineyard as planned. I might still go and have her meet me there. We'll see how the pregnancy goes. It's pretty exciting and a bit scary. RB |
A Great Day
ROBERT! Stop telling people I'm pregnant. I told you I'd try and lose
some weight. I'll start my diet tomorrow. And you will be getting a job or else no boat for you! Suzy (Bobsprit) wrote in message ... Congratulations Bubbles. The pregnancy confirms that you are indeed nutz :-) Yes indeed. She's due in September. Reading all I can on babies/kids and boats. RB |

If they're barefoot and pregnant, they should be in the kitchen!

13 weeks? Not possible. You were posting full time then.

My friends and I re-checked the sails and test started the engine, replaced a
jury rigged wiring harness for the stereo and VHF....we spotted a sloop enjoying the day! Spring is nearly here! Was the sloop a icebreaker? All of the floating ice is now gone, but there's still a bit on the ground. My Davis weather station says 64 degrees! RB |
A Great Day
Must have been a long cold winter..did they turn the heat off in your
apartment? LOL, we actually made the decision a while ago, but had to wait for the "pill effect" period to end. We're really looking forward to it. RB |

Hey, congrats:)
If it is a boy, are you going to name him Lamont?:) We have a long list of names....but we'll know if it's a boy or girl in about 7 weeks. Until then...the list is too long! RB |
