As I am a guy who has been sailin' boats AND ridin' Harleys most of my life, it was fun to meet a fellow "biker pirate" at the Southwest International Boat Show this past weekend...

| ..just a couple of Pirates talkin' Harleys, or was it Bikers talkin' boats! |
I've been readin' Bob Bitchin's work since the days of BIKER magazine in the '70s through his transformation (and mine) into the world of sailing, and now, his latest endeavors with Cruising Outpost magazine. Kathy and I had the opportunity to meet Bob and his better half Jody, and also attend their seminar at the show. Very Kewl!!!
We also had a great time at the bash that Cruising Outpost hosted at the show!

| ..a "rockin' sunset" for sure! |
Boat shows always provide great ideas and inspiration, so the day after the show, it was back to the boat and time to start the brightwork...

Following our inspection last Friday, the state of Texas has now assigned us our HIN and registration numbers, and we continue to push for our May 17th party deadline for our inaugural cruise. Things are lookin' up!
Sail On...
