the plans

The plans are as follows: Tomorrow we head out of the bay after a stop by the police dock for water and fuel. Than we are off for at least 3-4days. Neil got a call today and may have a doctors appointment on Monday so we will have to call it short, at least for now. I am happy that he is finally getting in to see a specialist after waiting for so long. Stewart is learning about changing the oil and doing a small tune up on the 15 hp kicker. It has never run right since the "Book Em Danno!" incident. So we are hoping that it all goes back together, with no extra parts, haha. The reel the boys picked up was worth about 15 times what they ended up paying for it after doing a little research...guess we are supposed to catch some fish now! Below are some pictures of it compared to what we used to refer to as the "big reel." It reminds me of Mick Dundee exclaiming, "Now that's a knife!"

Well right you are, "that really is a reel", or is it a winch? Is it made by Penn or Lewmar?
Have a great time on your 3-4 day sail.
Neil, this doc. needs to make a good decision or he will have Joyce to deal with. Don't want to go there.
Tiffin, next time we are together I want to lister to Roger waters "amused to death",it will be soo much fun. Will the kids listen or is Waters too old for them. Barry
