I have the boat hauled out in the morning and we celebrated Bill's birthday in the evening.

OK, now on to Bill's party

We went to play Bocce at Campo di Bocce in Los Gatos

Happy Birthday Bill.

As a special gift to Bill, I gave him one year back....
(you would have had to been there and been drinking beer to get it)

 

Special Update:
Jamie has a new boat
Our Bushwacker spy satellite picked this shot up earlier in the week
as it made it's way up the Mexican coast

OH well, it's only about size if you have a big one and can show people
