Hey, you coming up this far again? I'd like to get some pictures of the
GB passing the Watch Hill Light.

The current plan of record is to be on Long Island Sound by July 4,
and quite possibly a week sooner.

We will almost certainly get down east at some point but I don't yet
know exactly when.

Howzabout a picture near Old Saybrook light or Essex? We found Essex
to be a good place to hang out except for the grocery store or rather
the lack thereof. We might bring a car north this year however and
that would change things.

More than doable. In fact, it might be fun to launch the Ranger and get
some shots from sea side - different angles and what not.

Liz will be out of town those two weeks at a seminar then a convention,
but that doesn't mean I can't have some fun. :)

Maybe we could borrow the Vette? :-)

Um...well, sure why not.

I'll change the street tires to street slicks and you and Mrs. B can
have some fun street racing. :)

Hmmmm - on second thought...

Did Glenn ever launch that beautiful boat he was building?

Not yet. He hasn't updated the website for a few years, either.

I view the lack of updates as a good thing... :-)

Last I heard he was all wrapped up in the nitty gritty of getting
systems and sub-systems installed - engine, controls, electrical,
plumbing, pumps, tankage, etc, etc, etc, ad infinitum. That turns out
to be about 80% of the effort of course. Everyone thinks that
building the hull is the biggest part of the project but it's not.
Building the hull and deck just leaves you with a big object that
looks like a boat but can't go anywhere.
