Merry Christmas!

Post by SteveM »

Thought I would share a little holiday cheer with my friends on the board with our link below.
I don't visit as much as I would like, but I do feel that each of you are my friend, and I am very grateful for the support and camaraderie found here.
This is our personal card, but since I don't have each of your mailing address I thought I would share here.
Sorry, no pictures of the Duchess :(
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Thanks, Steve.
Considering the current weather in Virginia, wish I were @ your place for Christmas and under your tree, which I assume is a palm.

Bertramp, it still IS a fireplace. The house was built around '58. Terrazzo floors, hand laid trusses. They built them well back then. The backside of the fireplace is another fireplace on the opposite side...which I believe was an outdoor covered patio originally.

Bruce, and others, one of my neighbors in the Bahamas has the bug to get a 31. He currently has a big Bertram 50+ w/full time captain. He's a serious fisherman. He asked me to look around for him. I saw Bluebeard was up for sale. If anyone knows of any other good ones, this fella has the means to do it right and restore/rebuild one properly...and it be great to have another in the marina.

Steve ... I know what you are saying about how old Florida houses were built.
My place was built around '62 and I have terrazzo and a concrete roof.
Like a bunker !!

It would be real good for Bluebeard to go to a good home.

Steve,
Merry Christmas to you and your family. I just got back from the frozen North, never got above 32 except for 3 hours Sunday morning when the heavy snow turned to rain then it dropped from 36 to 22 in an hour. I was there from Wed to Sun morning, 25 degrees was the normal daytime high with a low of 6 at night. Now I know why I moved here 20 years ago.
Doctor in Mass General found that the top of the implant was loose, but the bottom was okay. I need to have it replaced ASAP but just the femoral component. He can't operate until mid January, then it will be mid March before he can operate again. Away I am on crutches 24/7 and can't do much. Haven't been able to get to the boat for 4 months, it must be real dirty by now, eapecially since they have been burning cane near the Lake O area.
If your friend is looking for an express let me know I am really wanting to sell the old girl. It's listed for a few more weeks with United Yacht Sales. The boat doesn't need much except bottom paint and side and forward deck paint job, gel coat is still in great shape after being redone in the early 90's. Have a happy holiday.

Merry Christmas from our house to each of yours.

While you are enjoying your holiday with family and friends, please take a moment to think about our young men and women away from home in far off places, protecting us from those who would do us harm. We are blessed to have them, and they all volunteered.

Steve, thanks for the entertaining Christmas greeting! Although we do not have musical talent like your family, we do have a Golden Retriever like yours. Merry Christmas to all on the Board, and Happy Hanukkah to my Jewish Bertram brothers!
