It's official!

Deposit wired and fax received & confirmed by broker.

Boo, you're now the proud Daddy of a 26 foot bouncing bundle of wood!

Can't wait to see her! (and you, you crazy fool!)

Kat .. my sweetness! What would I do without out you? (aside from probably still have less grey hair!).

Thanks for sorting out the finances, you now finally have a namesake after all this time! Lets hope there's no hurricanes in the next month!

Kat, in your quest for romance, your most intimate love affair might be with the pink bucket. Good look with that.

All aboard the pirate ship!

Jeesus bloody hell! You've done it! R u going to put an engine on it??

Wish you plenty of adventure, in the best possible way. That pink bucket is better be nice, man! I mean the most expensive, exquisite and luxurious bucket,yeah?

Fair winds.

Hey Tom, Lauri...
Ok I admit it .. I am simply satisfying a new fad in my life. Sym always said a Wharrem would suit me, this is in the same league. I am trying to find a reason to justify this new hair brained scheme - but failing!

Sometimes you gotta 'just do it', same theory as when I bought Doris with only 2 weeks sailing experience - this time its a LOT cheaper!

No engine intended Id rather sell it and buy a bigger boat with one when the time comes to 'settle down'.

Bucket - only the best!...
(ebay search 'pink bucket')

Hey, I'm excited for you. My crew should be there now. Be on the look out for Grateful Red, 42' C&C 121. Can't miss the red hull, flying the Wisconsin Badger flag. I'll be out July 2 about 7-9 pm from Horta airport. Will you still be there?

You will be happier with your simply elegant boat. The GR has alternator problems. Couldn't get any info on how food held out tho refer wasn't working. They complained of warm beer. That's what matters, eh?

"when the time comes to 'settle down'."

anyone fancy a sweepstakes as to whether its before he turns 50 or not?!?!

:)


don't worry Lauri - I'm searching for a diamond-encrusted pink bucket to talk me into this one!!! Start a 2nd sweepstakes how long i actually hack it onboard?!?
