It has arrived (baby dragon)
 
After months and months of careful waiting Craig Barrie has given birth to a bouncing baby dragon. The new boat is going to leave the dealership today on its way to california to its new mom and dad Mr and Mrs Eric T. We should be leaving Ft Lauderdale within the hour and should be arriving in Los Angeles at lunch time sunday. I am sure that the new parents will be posting photo's of their new family member after it arrives. I will keep you informed as to where I am during the trip home. :evilb:

Thank you all for the congratulations. :D

Murray, get off of the computer and drive. I am anxious. :drink:

Here are a couple of pictures.

Re: It has arrived
 
From looking at the picture, it appears that the windshield frame (the "A" pillar for lack of a better description) would cause a major blind spot for the driver off the port bow - can anyone comment?

No blind spot dockrocker. If that happens, I can move the steering wheel to the starbaord side and Mrs. T can steer. :D

Eric remember that you type with two hands so the more I have to reply the less I am holding onto the steering wheel

It's hard to believe that we just said goodbye to you Friday morning in Ft. Lauderdale
and on Sunday morning you're back in CA.
You are one helluva boat hauler, Jeff Murray!

Take the day off and relax. :D
