Mike with his first boat...aka HOME for a year.

Mike wanted to be a pirate for Halloween (imagine that)

So I made costumes for him, Mark and myself.

               Mikes 26th Birthday

Celebrating at the Martinez Marina

 

You'll just have to ask Mark what the propane reference is. Something about propane canister and a bon fire up in Yosemite. Here Mike is sharing the story with all of us.

   

We made him stand up on the boat. While we sang Happy Birthday to him !

He wanted to see just how many people the boat could hold. I counted 15, 1 child (in red) and 1 dog (by my feet) Notice the lean of the boat. Yep that when our tv fell to the floor and never worked the same again.

He even made cleaning the bottom of the boat seem fun.

Taking a break and floating on top, he let me snap a few pics cause he was being so silly.

Always finding something to fix on the boat.

Sailing home from San Francisco (in the background) with Mark and Bill.

      

The "SECRET HIDE AWAY"

Mike and I took Brutus and sailed out there to spend the night.

If you look close you can see our kitten Brutus on the dinghy with Mike.

                                                                                              

                                      My 30th birthday.

While we lived in Martinez Mikes mom Alice and Ron got married in Texas. We flew out so Mike along with brother Keith could walk their mom down the isle. We had such a fun weekend hanging out with his family.
