SSL577 ~ we DID IT..!!
I know a bunch of you have been asking for some tiki time and this morning she was quite talkative as the sun was coming up, so we caught a little bit here for you and not to mention at the same time outside it was a beautiful sunrise, the kind you just can't help, but pick up your camera how are you welcome home Tiki Tiki yep you guessed it, it's raining, hey Tiki even Tiki's doing the rain dance she likes to have a shower she starts dancing around in her water dish oh boy, never stops sometimes it was sunny for a couple hours this morning, I guess that's about all we get we got our buddy Mayo here he's been helping cleaning the sides of the boat and maybe do the underside, careful you're gonna get wet man yeah Tiki she doing the dance she's doing the rain dance hey Tiki shower time hey pretty girl, woohoo we don't have our buckets up because we're already full we don't need any more plants are all happy, these guys getting a fresh shower there, new basil but it looks like it's gonna rain for a while (we're gonna make the dinghy ride really fun) yeah our dinghy excursion, I think just got put on hold for a few minutes at least (but what about our reservation) (it's very nice) yeah you ready? it's time to go on our dinghy ride (oh look better than these I don't need to wet my clothes and not) oh you're already wet, so it don't matter now I told mayo you better get out of the water you get wet (yeah I think so our lunch) oh the video's finished so it's just finished uploading now the water's coming off our solar panels, dripping into his canoe as fast as he's pumping it out just before we get back to today's video we just wanted to take a minute to thank all of you who have helped us achieve our goal for trying to replace our main engine on Sophisticated Lady I'm happy to say we've not only reached the goal, but surpassed it thanks to you guys and as you can see Maddie and Megan had their hands full trying to list all the names on one flag and there it is the finished and I can't believe we got all the names on we didn't expect to have so many names, but every single person is on the flag, I think we've got what almost 300 names now (yeah) but you guys helped us not only reach our goal, but surpass our goal, so we can't thank you enough, thank you so much, and we have been successful in our quest in trying to find a new heart for Sophisticated Lady, so we are in negotiations with several engine manufacturers now and I think I should have an update with something more concrete probably within a week or so so that is what we're working on now and we'll keep you in touch with that as we go but we just wanted to interrupt the video a little bit just to say hi and say thank you and to show you that we've got the flag completed now it's probably going to be a few episodes before we actually get it hoisted on the boat because the episodes you're watching now are not quite real time they're a little bit behind, but only by two to three weeks, so a few more episodes and you'll see the flag up and then I think when we get to San Andres we're going to pull it down and start picking names, so stick around for that, so thanks very much again guys I'm going to take you back to the video now, so enjoy, have a great day (and thank you and again) thank you so much again, cheers guys now there's way too many names to try and show in the middle of the video, but we want all of you to be able to pick out your name on the flag, so stick around till the end and we'll have a close-up of the whole thing for you, cheers guys and look at that, wait one hour and we have sunshine again, crew is in the dinghy, guess what we have lunch plans, we're going over with our friends they're just going back to their boat for a second, but Jose and Magnolia have invited us to go along with them to a restaurant which is down the coast there somewhere we don't know but it's a dinghy ride, so we're gonna go check that out apparently it has good thai food which we haven't had in a long time, so that sounds great, I think Madeleina is just about ready I just need my shoes, you guys are all good I guess?
