New Years 2008 and what a party it was. We head North from Point Reyes in the RV to Jeff and Lori's house for one of the best parties I have been to in years. Some people were even in the hot tub till 5am, these are the same people who can barely stay up for the 10 o'clock news. Well another year behind us. Happy New Year!
Enjoy the movie....

Christmas 2008. Karen, Jack and I head out for a road trip to Point Reyes in the RV with the final stop being Jeff's New Years Eve party. Here's a movie of our journeys around the area as we do some sightseeing. It was nice to just have a week off and relax after that year... I am sure you know what I mean. I wish the boat would get here soon. Just a few more weeks. I can't wait.

December 12, 2008. With winter approaching Barry and I make the dash North to Oak Harbor WA to deliver the equipment and gear for the new Bushwacker which is due in the next two months. We make it over the pass just in time. What a ride 2160 miles after our little jaunt into Canada to pick up 2 polished stainless steel anchors. The last morning we saw 10 degrees with snow and ice. Glad to be home. Check out the movie Barry did of the trip.

Thanksgiving 2008. The Bailey's invite us up to their cabin for Thanksgiving dinner. We do a little sightseeing in the gold country and explore some new territory. A special thanks to Bill and Kris, and the boys for having us. And also to Pico for keeping Jack busy. Follow this link for the movie.

November 8th 2008. We take a road trip up to Jeff's house and partied, ate great food and bottled wine like there is no tomorrow. What a weekend. Great food, great wine, great music, great friends. If I could have gotten a stimulus check life would have been perfect. Great job on the video Barry.... Follow the link for the movie.

Aug 2008, Barry and I head up to Canada to get the Abacus ready for summer. We head south to look at the North Pacific 43's in Anacortes and Oak Harbor. We like what we see and I write a check for a new one. Hull 44, The new Bushwacker, will be here next year. We then head off for Seattle with Harry and Pat and pick Ann up at the airport. Next trip will be on my new boat.

July 28th 2008. The Bushwacker has been up for sale for a few months now and sadly I must say I sold her. What a fine vessel and a great 11 years of service I had from her. But as I also say "Out with the old and in with the new. Get a sneak peak at the new Bushwacker being built as we speak. That's right the new one is on order and will arrive early next year.

July 4th 2008. It's been awhile since we had a vacation movie. I am going to try and make up for that with two trips this month. First one is to the Delta with an RV and ski boat trip and the second is my yearly trip aboard the Abacus up in Canada. Watch for the movies.
