It's been pretty busy around here for the last several weeks, and I haven't had a chance to take Olivia dancing for awhile.

I feel guilty.

I have however, been keeping up on projects (to a small extent) and some routine maintenance. I am going to finally tackle the oil change this evening, and recently have added a new nav station as well as a book shelf in the mid cabin area.

This past weekend we went to Corpus Christi to meet up with Sean and Denise who will be cruising with us in '08 when we head South. Sean owns a 32 Choy Lee and is in the process of upgrading and shaking down as well....

I bought a few things at West Marine up in CC, including some spreader boots, and maybe, just maybe, I can get Dee to go up there and attach them,,,,,,

Saturday is the annual Port Isabel boat parade, and we will be stringing lights all over Olivia this week. I have an 1800 watt generator at home that will power the whole shebang. In addition, I got shanghi'ed into being the MC for the event, so it should be an interesting evening. Stand by. You can view the route here

Yep. Should be real interesting, what with the depth of the channel having been reduced to "severe grounding" status, and a forecast cold front coming in Thursday or Friday bringing 40 knot winds and (for Texas) cold weather (40's), there should be great moaning and gnashing of teeth trying to pull the thing off...

I am still hoping to haul out before Christmas. Just need to generate a few more boat units.
