Finally.
After 2 retirement parties, 3 happy hours, 1 barn
party, 2 open boat parties, 1 boat outing, several girls' nights out, 8 good-bye
dinners and many bon voyage lunches, it seems we have properly said good-bye to
everyone.
Thanks to all for the extremely
fun times, many thoughtful gifts and enough booze to keep us both happy for
several years.
Now it's time to get serious about this boating
thing. The boat is loaded and although not all projects have been
completed (are they ever?), we leave tomorrow (7/1/07). This would be the
appropriate time to point out that we are leaving, per Don's plan,
on schedule. About a week ago, after I finished telling my
father how stressed we were because we weren't sure if we could get it all done
and be ready to sail on 7/1, Dad asked, "Why don't you just delay your
planned departure and take an extra week to get ready if you need it?". He
forgot it was Don's schedule we were talking about. Delays are not an
option. For those of you at Fisher-Price, let's be clear about this, we
have met our schedule without the use of GCS.
So, off we will go tomorow. We will leave
Sodus around 7am (tough for me, but I won't have to talk to anyone, including
Don) and sail to Stoney Island. Stoney Island is
a sparsely populated island that is located not too far from
Sackett's Harbor, which is at the east end of Lake Ontario. Dutch John Bay
on Stoney Island is one of our favorite places to anchor due to its serene
setting and fabulous sunsets. For those of you on the Curbell Sales
and Marketing management team, Dutch John Bay is also the scene of
last year's toilet explosion.
Thanks again to everyone for a send-off we won't
soon forget. Stay in touch.
