Happy birthday Nick
and Happy birthday Joyce!
Joyce just got back from RI last night, she went up for a reunion and an unexpected funeral of her aunt Kate. She's been scurrying about the apt cleaning up my mess of the last week. Lovely to have her home again.
She says all are asking about the boat and particularly WHEN?
Good question. Things are going well, the engine is fired up, still trying to get someone to install the hydraulics, working on the electrical, the kitchen is pretty much set up, nav lights are arriving, and John and I are working away.
The real problem is that once again it is HOT AS HELL down here in the swamp. I'm talking 100 degree heat and 100% humidity. It's hard to understand why people live here.
The whole boat project is of course an ongoing thing and it will never be finished, but in about two months we will have it together enough to get on board and leave Louisiana in the broad daylight.
. That leaves us pulling out into the Gulf of Mexico in the middle of hurricane season, which I actually look forward to. Being tied up in the swamp is a lot more precarious than being able to get out of the way.

Thanks for the post, Lorenzo. Nick will be responding on his own, I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteWe ate at the California Culinary Academy for his birthday lunch.
Maybe we can take Joyce there for a belated birthday lunch for her when she gets to SF -- I can't wait. When will it be?
I'm glad the boat is finally coming together enough to see a date when you can finally try it out.
And of course, happiest of birthdays, Miss Joyce.

Many thanks for the birthday greeting. Out here on the Left Coast there are rumours that blog readers had espied a picture of Lorenzo in SF, but I don't see it. Maybe the summer fog...
