So that's where you put it…That has to be the coolest wheel knob (or shifter knob) ever created!

I dropped a fender into the water, I was holding the rope. We were doing about 6 knots, the fender submarined, and your hero tried to hold on.. salutary lesson, no one was watching, and there by the grace of God, I did not end up in the water. Would have tested the AIS beacon on my life jacket, and @Madame Buttonfly would have been able to tick off the MOB part of her course

@Matt:

I should probably start apologizing ahead of time.

To late now honour your words now 

I meant to my wife.

@Giles You're assuming she would stop….

[Giles]

Well, there is that 

But, I think it would be a very bad mark for Ben, the instructor, if he lost a client….

No, got far too much else to do that weekend….

Way to go

[Giles]

I've created a monster.  Paula is on the phone to a friend, the half of the conversation I can hear is peppered with; Ferry Gliding, Prop Walk, Safe Place etc etc etc…..

[Kasi]

Congratulations [emoji3060]….

Captain G.. and lady Paula.

Lady command the harbour you follow

Sounds like she is shaping up to become the real skipper  Saw that determination in her eyes on the night run –-Go Paula !

[Giles]

@Madame Buttonfly and I took the boat out, for the first time on our own, today.

We motored to the fuel jetty, moored up and filled her with fuel, motored 10 miles east, anchored up, had lunch and returned home.

No Gelcoat lost…...

We'll take that....
