The Not Cruise

[Bill Edmundson]

Today we didn't start packing for a Trans-Atlantic cruise.

Were you taking the bartender or the tahoe or the canoe?

Today I'm not taking the family to Disney World for spring break.

[Bill Edmundson]

Chug:I don't think I could make the trip with any of my boats.

Jimm Y: sounds like Chevy Chase going to Wally World!

Probably will not take the Glen-L Squirt from Seattle to Florida, through the Panama Canal...
...our passports expired.

After reading in Woodenboat about the fella that's sculling his craft across the Atlantic.Or the guy that made a floating barrel and floated across from the canary islands on just the ocean currents,there's hope yet-Bill

[Bill Edmundson]

We're doing some serious not packing today!

You would not believe the vacation we're not going on this summer! First of all, we're not travelling to the Midwest to find and restore my grandfather's 1957 28' Chris Craft Sedan with Fly Bridge that probably no longer exists. Then, we absolutely won't be doing the Great Lakes portion of the Great Loop. After that, since the kids' summer camp won't be happening, there's no possibility of taking my wife to Paris for a major birthday milestone celebration (no fancy dinners, no shopping at the Louis Vuitton mothership, no street cafes). And after being unable to pay our respects at Normandy, we definitely won't be trekking across the British Isles in search of the best whisky/whiskey. So after we don't do any of those things, I guess there is a slim chance that I could still possibly work on my boat build. In the garage. In Phoenix. In the summer. Ooof!

I see you're in the spirit of this! I always say, "As long as you're not getting, you might as well not get the best!"

Bill

[Tony Hain]

That's the best I can afford!

What I will be doing this weekend is getting the Squirt down from the garage, hook up the outboard, wax and polish it up for the season. I helped my friend put most of his dock in a few weekends ago, so my lift is ready and waiting. Only problem is it pretty cold still here in Michigan.

We did get out and field test some improvements (new, larger pontoons) to his outboard picnic table a few weeks ago before the lock down hit. It is more fun when it is 80 degrees out, but it got us out of the house!

Jim, at least you didn't have to worry about packing a cooler.

[JimmY]

Jim, at least you didn't have to worry about packing a cooler.

TRUE! Beer was a perfect 32 degrees!

Today we're not flying to Miami and boarding Oceana ship Riviera!

Today I'm not dining with Cinderella!
