Pretty tough talk from the X-O of a de-commissioned submarine!

He refers to it as my boat with the upstairs part, and he too constantly asks, "when are you going to get that motor out of the living room?" ROFLOL!!!




LOL!!!!!



What a way to start a new thread!! Sorry Guys! I couldnt resist!!!
One year ago today I met yachtsmanbill. Through his posts and everyone else posts I have come to know alot of you. I have had the pleasure to meet several of you guys.... Eric, Sky, Mark, Akin, Howard and several more. I apologize to any I failed to mention. I have been with Bill when we meet some one and they look at Bill and say " Youre yachtsmanbill, arent ya?"
Sorry guys, taking this the wrong direction again. For the past year that I have known Bill we have been ALL consumed on the boats. Randys remark about the de-commisioned "SUB" made me laugh. I remember when we launched this year. Trojan Bill, Eric Smoothmove showed up. We had a grand time. That was also the first time I was ever in a boat on the water! WOW!!
Bill has made a promise to me that this summer (2010) we will take the Hatt Trick or SUB across the lake.

NOW for the reason for this thread. GLR!!!! Lets have a Great Lakes Rendevous. All you guys on Lake Michigan or in the area....lets do it!!!
Any and all invited!! It wont be on the scale of FLIBS but thats ok... we are not competing with anyone. For any that would like to come but live too far to come by boat we will try to make arrangements for hotels and vehicles. Bill has suggested some time in August. Some of the projects on the sub will be ongoing well into the spring months.
Trojan Bill, I hope you can arrange to come.. you wont recognize the sub... We are moving full speed ahead on several projects. I am sanding and varnishing to my hearts content and Bill and Gator are working on the Lazerette and the spray rails. The galley project is on for this winter also, plus replacing the back door in the upper salon with sliding glass doors!!!


I would like to start planning this now so could I hear from anyone that can make it in August...what weekend would be good. After I get some feedback we can decide as to where it should be.Then I can look into marina's, lodging and entertainment. Thanks guys and sorry this is sooo long.....ppat
