From a Superyacht to Little League!

 Many of these images are in low light. A bit grainy for my taste but that's what I get for not using a tripod.

Small But Important Addition to the Boat!

 Every boat I've had since the age of 14 I never had a rear view mirror. What prompted me to add one was when I was launching at the ramp last week. Just before I backed away from the ramp I checked behind me to see it it were clear and it was. But as I was still between the floats some yelled "LOOK OUT"! A small boat was heading right at me! I stopped my momentum and avoided a collision. The boat going forward should have changed direction since I was clearly visible. I just shrugged my shoulders and moved on. 

Mirror installed

I had to make sure I could install the console cover.

Out of Bondage!

 My boat is out of bondage! I had planned to launch her by mid May but she became trapped by a construction fence. The school next door was torn down and creating a new neighborhood park. The city told me the construction fence will come down by June and it never happened. So my nephew and I unbolted the fence to allow my boat to escape.

Caught behind the fence!
