It was great to get away for a few days with some friends and go skiing in Lake Tahoe.

I was sure looking forward to some time away from the office.
Some of you might even recognize Navigator Bill next to me putting on his skis, how else would I have found the place.

What a tough day, the bus picks us up at the door and 10 minutes later we are on the slops.
And you wanted to stay at work?

At night, I still dreamed of being at the helm of the Bushwacker, except it's a little different in my dreams, I'll explain.
The following pictures were taken from the "Brain Cam" as I slept

In my dreams the Bushwacker has an enclosed pilothouse, and the helm configuration is a little different

The bridge has a very comfortable chair, and Bill is never in it when I'm on the bridge.

The Bushwacker also requires a bigger slip, but that's no problem Alan is the harbormaster even in my dreams.

My wife was in this dream also, and I don't know where all the sailors came from, must have been part of her dream.

The Bushwacker is also equipped with numerous F-14 Tomcats to protect it against the Coast Guard's
random boardings, and to go for more beer if we run out.

Aircraft are launched from the deck and I am also an ACE fighter pilot..

To protect the Bushwacker at anchorage, it has it's own sub. The "UNDERWATERWACKER"

What a dream then I was back to work the next Monday.
APRILS FOOLS!

The things I come up with when all I have is  a web page, an old roll of film, and too much time.
