Uncle Pug (the boat)

[100days-a-year]

Nice hull UP,with the hoist tho I'd think you'de lift those old farts out of the water.I envy you the luxury of a 6kt cruise speed.Our closest dives are 4miles out with 25 to 40 being my norm.

Actually... everything I have is a gift...
So I can not only be thankful... but grateful too...

Besides...

My contract reads "whatever your heart desires" and in another place "more than you could ask or think"

But, with the airspeed of a fully laden swallow (carrying coconuts), I hope all your divesites are nearby.

Is the airspeed of a swallow???


Nudge Nudge, Wink Wink....

It could be carried by an African swallow!

..especially in the dive-site rich (and at times log infested) waters of Puget Sound.

A River Runs Through It was blisteringly fast.

Besides... adding the 3' extension should get us up from 7.5 to 8 kts!

Uncle Pug,

If you motored Southward at 7.5 kts heading for the Panama Canal and I started swimming Eastward from Miami at 1 kt, exactly where would we meet in the Pacific Ocean?

I had a really bad experience years ago. Took a "trawler" live-aboard to the Dry Tortugas from Naples, Florida. It took 16 hours of 6 ft, heading seas to get there. Between the diesel smell and the rockin' & rollin', sleeping on the upper deck and barfing every 30 minutes made for a really great night's sleep. So I hope you understand why I have a profound dislike for 7.5 kts.

The good news was that once there, the seas turned to glass for the next 3 days and the view was magnificent--both underwater and at night--no moon and all the Milky Way you could take in.

The boat looks cool though...is that a picture of it at dock or underway? Or is the dock moving?

Regards,

Larry Stein
