That is what my son said to me this afternoon! *We came up this weekend to reduce the # of items on our to do list. *We got the new salon stereo (ipod compatible) installed, new water pump, installed the new horn, got the nav lights and anchor light working properly,as well as getting our new Rogue WIFI system set up with our Kyrocera router that can work with either external WIFI or our AT&T USB modem, and a few other small items. *Tomorrow we hope to tear out the old countertops and old stove so the granite folks can do their thing ASAP. *We also launched our dingy and my son wanted to go for a ride this afternoon. *So- off we went around Harrison Bay for a while in our little Avon RIB enjoying the pretty late fall day and each other's company. *It was about half way through that ride that he turned around and told me, "Dad, boats sure are fun." *I had to agree with him. *It makes me so tremendously grateful to be in a position in life where we can spend time with our children on board before they are too old to want to hang out with mom and dad. *Hopefully it continues to prove to be a good platform teaching them family teamwork, enjoying life, and showing them how much God has given us in the beauty of each day.
This old trawler is WAY older and more work than any other boat I've ever owned but it sure has been fun to fix her up with the family (especially my son- wife and daughter decided 28 degrees at night was too cold so they stayed home to get their nails done and have a girls weekend), and what a nice sense of satisfaction in getting projects done. *The best part though- working with my son on her one on one-a great way to spend time with my little 8 year old boy!!
Anyway- thought I'd share a short video of our dinghy ride around the area this afternoon:
