I've seen those ships coming in and out of San Diego. They are very impressive.

Amazing........ When I was a kid back in the 40's I followed Buck Rogers and that's the kind of stuff
they had in the strip at the time...I never figured I'd live long enough to actually see the real thing.
Simply amazing......

Kid in the 40's?
Come on Walt. Something believable please.
But technology is great. Especially when you get to use it for fun and enjoyment.

Re: Ship Commissioning Next Month
I have to say its impressive knowing how active you are at your age. My dad is 82 and uses his boat more than I have time to myself.
I hope I am as able to do as much when I'm your age.
How are you dealing with not having the hatt anymore?Scott

Re: Ship Commissioning Next Month
As spring approaches I am starting to experience severe Hatteras withdrawals. Last night I dreamed
that I bought a 60' MY. It was so vivid that I was really depressed when I woke up and realized it was
just a dream......oh well I can always fly down to Fla and ride on yours...lol.
