Last chance!

Well well well... SpringDay is out of the water again for the 5th time since March !!!
Don wants that vibration gone gone gone.... last chance here in San Diego to have the problem resolved.  So far so good, this boat yard found two problems right away; the alignment was off by nine thousand of an inch, and the 4 blades of the propeller measured all differently. Mr Efficiency decided that might as well increase prop speed too, so SpringDay's problem solver, a very nice man is working overtime and should finish late tonight.  Sea trial tomorrow, pray.


Cute feet 

SpringDay is back in "land jail" she has spent more time on land than on water but it's about to change. We will have victory! Her heart murmur will be healed.

Jail visitors and cheer leaders of SpringDay

On a happy note our niece who lives in San Diego, daughter of Debbie (Don's sister) just had a baby 
named Olyvia. Heidi had just given birth two days prior to visiting SpringDay, she was not going to let the pain and fatigue get in the way of visiting SpringDay. Tough North Dakota raised!
Heidi married Ben Brunetto whose family owns and operates an italian restaurant "Marechiaro's" which means Clear Sea, right Rita? The food was so good, garlic was not spared. Thank you Joe Brunetto







I have to run.... but always...
...thinking of you

  1. OK that did it - "when" I get skinny - I am coming down to San Diego and indulging myself (fancy word for pig-out) at Marechiaro's. Another awesome journalistic contribution Lili! By the way, I found the following on the 'net - sounds like the restaurant.

    When the moon comes out in Marechiaro,
    even the fish are making love.
    The waves of the sea revolt
    changing their colour from joy.
    When the moon comes out in Marechiaro!

    In Marechiaro there is a window;
    my passion knocks on it.
    A fragrant carnation in a vase,
    beneath it the water breaks and murmurs
    In Marechiaro there is a window!
    ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
