update

Hello all
It's been awhile. I've been busy. We finished both simulators at Airbus. I will post those pictures when I download them. The Koi Miester is going home. He has been transferred to HAWAII of all places. Well that's home. They will be missed. Besides loosing two good friends I'm loosing my dog and cat. BUMMER! Bryon might move his boat into the slot, as we call the cutout , where Koi is docked. It's going to change life on the river.
Speaking of life on the river, Last weekend we had a couple of collisions at one of the restaurants across the way. one gentleman came up river at a moderat clip, exacuted a neat U turn and smartly smacked into one of the 4"X6" pilings and snapped it in two. He also destroyed his bowsprit and anchor. He proceeded to tie up his boat, walk right by the destroyed piling without once looking at it and go in and have a seat at the bar. The very next day a bout a 36' searay pulled up to Garcias with his family and went inside. About an hour later one of those really nice italian smoke gray hulled cruisers came up river, exacuted a neat U turn and sideled up to the dock very smartly. then for reasons unknown to anyone he slammed the throttels full forward and nose to nose climbed right over the Searay. Well the outcome was what you would expect. Both boats destroyed there anchors,railing's and bowsprit's. the Italian boat got a very large hole in it's hull and the Searay's deck got separated from the hull. Not a pretty site. Nothing sank, and everyone finished there dinner.
The Mayor has been on the campaign trail lately. he and his entourage came visiting and raised quite a stink on the river with there antics. Nothing serious, just a lot of fooling around. He is always a welcome site and we love it when he shows up (he brings cigars) We wish him success in November.
I hope this spat of storms stay offshore. We really don't need anymore grief here in Miami.
That's about all I have to contribute today. Stay well and enjoy life.
