2005 - Dockwise Transport and Charlie's new boat,
BIGOUDEN!
Brother
Charlie's new boat, BIGOUDEN, arrived this morning
aboard Dockwise Yacht Transport from St. Maarten.
Bruce, Mom and I met him at Oldport at 6:30 a.m. for a
ride out to the ship. It was absolutely beautiful:
still, clear, sunny, and cold.

Quite a
collection of yachts.

Upon
climbing aboard, we discovered totally dead batteries.
Here's where Bruce really comes into his own: with some
borrowed accessories, he got the engine running, and in
the process developed a lengthy "to do" list for the
owner...

Ready to go: just
waiting for the divers to finish their thing underwater,
then off we go.
Grammo,
hard at work doing the deck-hand thing. Nice hair,
Grammo!
There's the vessel, safely on her mooring in Brenton
Cove. The old name is still on our sailcover.
New name and new graphics are in process.
