I've never seen so many people, as you two do, have that much fun in a 25' Catalina ... a 27 footer or a 30 footer, but 25 feet is a tad small for San Fran area (a lake maybe), but fun you do have.

Great photo of two old men having fun with the elements ...

Whats the name of that area where they have old ships all tied up together?

Do you ever get out that way?

Our tree goes up this Monday. Far too early I know but with the daughter in the process of moving house she may not get one up for her daughter this year.

Grandparents can't be letting down their only grandchild and all that.

SO WE MOTORED TO TO TEST THE RECENTLY OVERHAULED NISSAN ENGINE'S NEW STARTER AND IMPELLER ONLY, AND CALLED IT A DAY AFTER AN HOUR OR SO.
