I didn't see this yesterday. Are you still around? If so I would join you for a cold one!
 
Hey Ken, I will be on the boat all day. PM sent.

After 12 hours of driving we finally made it to the boat. Took a while to unload the truck! The folks we bought the boat took us out dinner. Went to the boat and cranked the air. This boat has 2-50amp hook ups. I can see I will have to upgrade the dock. Kay heads back tomorrow and I start the preparations for the cruies. Pics to follow tomorrow
 
Tom, Are you gonna do any live streaming on this trip ?.

I wouldn't even know how to start that!!

I made the decsion to do a weather hold until late next week. 14-20ft rollers and 35-45kt winds are not my cigar. Give me time to get familar with the boat. Right now I have the fuel folks here drilling a big hole in each of my fuel tanks, installing inspection plates and cleaning the tanks, then they will polish the fuel.

Good decision, we are looking at late (middle of the night late) Thurs or Fri as a departure from San Francisco. Of course, this is all weather and sea condition dependent.
