They can keep that stuff on the west coast.

The survey and sea trial has now been scheduled for Friday of this week on
the Navigator.
The broker is just itching to get his commission, so they don't want to wait
until spring.

Friday is supposed to have heavy rain which is no big deal, so we may as
well get this over with.
The weather has been warm, the ice has melted so what the hell.

Actually, to be fair, we should try to get it done just in case there is an
issue that changes the buyer's mind and he needs to shop for something else.

Last time I went boating in January was in Florida. :-(

If you want, I'll be glad to come over and be really obnoxious so you
don't have to sell the boat. :)

Heh. Remember the guy who wanted to buy it and take it to Lake Champlain?
Turns out he either couldn't get financing or find a slip or something.
Anyway, the day he went through the boat for the second time, and with his
wife and daughter for the first, my slip neighbor fired up the engines in
his older Post, right beside us. DD 6-71's have a very distinctive and, on
some boats, very *loud* exhaust note. Nobody on or near the Navigator
could hear themselves think, let alone carry on a conversation. I had to
demo the Navigator engine sound to erase the look of terror on his wife's
face.

That sound is music to my ears... :-)

High winds! Talked to my buddy today. He had a houseboat at New Melones
Lake. Was a nice boat until Saturday. Something happened and either the
buoys got tangled or one broke loose and prevented his boat from swinging
with the wind. The wind hit it from the side and flipped the boat. This is
a 60' house boat. The house broke off the pontoons and the toons ended up
flipping. Took a crane to recover the boat. The local ranger gets his
sign. AS they are bringing the remains ashore, he says you can not do that.
You do not have a permit to remove the boat. A permit is required everytime
you remove or return the houseboat to the water. At least his superior told
him, forget it. Is an emergency and the paperwork would be taken care of
later. Now to see how much State Farm pays off.

Un-friggin-believable!

I spent a week at New Melones last summer... beautiful lake.

That sucks about your friends boat. I probably saw it, but there were a lot
of them.

Says trees fell on homes in Twain Harte. My in-laws have a place
there, right on the edge of town.

Trees fell on homes and cars everywhere. Going in to my mom's there was a
tree across 2 cars in the shopping center by the freeway leaving town, and
they had the cross street by mom's blocked off and you could hear the
chainsaws running. Mom's survived the winds, but had a major leak in the
dining room. Took out some of the plaster. Was bad install of a gutter a
couple years ago when they did the roof. Has been wooden gutters and they
put a metal one in and ran it into the stucco where the wooden one had ended
with a wooden plug at the end. They just put some tar sealer over the end
cap. My brother and I cut off part of the gutter today and stucco filled
the hole. Is a 1908 Georgian. So we get a lot of experience on this old
house.
