HAHAHA, I have too got many calls by people who want to give me an alert that my boat is on its way down... Such alerts should not be ignored, so I have a way to ask them how deep it is. Alwas lots of fun!!

Hey Peter,

Thanks for the kind comments about the old girl.

Being that it's winter in Indiana and snow is in the forecast, things are as well as can be expected. The sun came out twice in January I think, but the Colts being in the SB has helped the winter pass. Next week we are bailing to Florida for a month so things are looking up.

How are things back east?

I know it's not right to tell the captain how to run his ship, but you really need to get some rope on those purple fenders before you toss them over the side.

Same deal up here, cold & snow then some more cold & snow, be glad when this one is over.

You take the boat and I'll fly down with gas money! Going to the Miami show?

No boat but weather permitting we are going to pull our jet skies down. One of these days we'll make it to the show but we'll just be traveling down to Florida that weekend.

Ragged I am glad you brouht that up

if we put ropes on they could bounce around an get in the motors
yes I know you can tie them, but he'll it 4' to reach from back seat just to teach them. Guess we will lie on one engine hatch that's not open and reach down an grab

Think I will keep ropes seprate an slide through wholes when we get them out

I am open for any suggestions

Sort of a catch 22 here, if the fenders are not tied into the holders won't they eventually bounce out?

Suggestion #1: Just rig the fenders up with ropes and stock up on belts, then store the belts under the rear seat where they can't get into the engines!
