Hi Guys;

Papeete should be in sight!

Let's see.....well the Hobie Cat was sold to AL Munson today. We agreed on $x,xxx.
Not bad for a six yr old boat we paid $xx,xxx for.
Oh well. I think we had $x,xx worth of fun...do you.?

He picks it up tomorrow.
We'll put your jeep under the tent cover now.

The money is for a reefer compressor, etc.
OK up next
refrigeration.
What model
any words that are recognizable at all.?
Whats size is it.? How tall is it?
What is the best solution to the problem?

fish gear
we dressed in cammo and ball caps to go to Bass Pro Shops in Henderson. Yee haw dude.
They closed at 7:000 we got there at 6:30...so all we really had time to do was look for correctly sized offshore gear. Damn those lures are pricey. Make your own outta those beer kegs when we are done with em. LOL

Enjoy Papeete.
I know it has been tough to get there.

The agent has been prepaid and should take care of most everything. DO NOT authorize any extra charges with him unless I approve.
He has reserved a slip for you. Make sure it has fresh water that you can use....before you accept it. Try and limit your dock time as much as possible. Lock up tight when anchored out and away from boat.....at least in Papeete area.

Check in while wearing nice clothes. really. Get yourselves rested. Buy some ice cream. get a cold beer.
Get the boat rinsed off. Figure out your fuel situation.
But please......get away from the dock asap.

I really need the reefer info. today if possible.

call my cell using sat fone when you arrive....near the breakwater

Love ya....Dad
