It doesn't get much better than this my friends!

Was that cake preceded by some lobster and steamers?

Very nice Tony. Completely jealous!
 
Tony - someone is eating your cake and drinking your wine!

Well that sure does look nice.

Unfortunately, I've apparently consumed a lifetime allotment of alcohol in less than a lifetime and my doctors have forbidden me to consume any more so I'll just have to envy you. :(
 
Ron, if my choices were alcohol or chocolate cake, the cake would win!

Yes, but the wine looks good also.
 
Looks good, but I think I'd go with a better bottle of Cab.
 
Enjoy, Tony! I splashed today and hope to be doing the same very soon.

I tend to listen to Old Drunks rather than Doctors. Check your phone book, there are a whole lot more Old Drunks than Doctors.

We've been anchored out for a few days with just my wife and I- dropped the kids off at my parents! I hate to say it but it's been our first time anchoring out overnight on the trawler! Between all the refit work through the fall and winter, getting to know the boat, cold winter, etc. we just have not been able to anchor out. The boat did great- battery bank held strong all night and we found a simply AWESOME cove to anchor in just a few minutes from the marina- surrounded by a state park and very pretty. Definitely one of the nicest anchorages we've ever been in anywhere so we were happy to find it so close to our home marina- hopefully it's not Party Central during the summer. :)

Also, here is the simple man's answer to Wheems and Plath oil lamps:

$6 instead of $275. :) I took it down after the picture but it makes for a great mellow light in the teak salon. Let the debate of open flames and candles on a boat begin. ;)

AND HOGAN- congrats on splashing!!!!

STEVE- no steamers- we had BBQ shrimp, fried rice, and salad:

RIVERBED- the diet of "eat more and get fat" seems to be working well for me. I plan on offsetting it with lots of mountain biking this spring- started back up last week.

Anchoring out away from civilization is my favorite part of boating. On our last trip we had a spot where there was no sign of civilization near or far. :)
 
I like the look, Tony. It looks like it's always been there. Oil lamps have been on boats longer than batteries. What brand/model is that?

I'm beginning to change out my interior dome lights to LEDs for battery conservation. Not quite the mood lighting of an oil lamp, but less soot and no oil to refill.

I'm heading out for a week onboard with my brother in the CA Delta tomorrow. We'll mix gunkholing with a marina stop or two. Our focus will be sturgeon and striper fishing mixed with a few beers, some great onboard food and a few miscellaneous boat projects.
 
Ron, I gotta agree- it is great to visit quite places via boat!
Flywright- post some pics when you get back!

Man what a GREAT 5 days on the boat though! It was so nice to anchor out a few nights, tool around the local waters, enjoy the marina restaurant, etc. Just a great time. Some more pics:

my wife loves birdwatching and the cove we were in was surrounded by a state park so TONS of birds so my wife had a ball glassing birds all day:

The fundamental things apply as time goes by.

I'm still jealous.
