Happy Monday FS Friends

Lost body weight this week, and gained a ton yesterday. Since moving to the shores of the Mighty Niagara river 7 years ago, I've been wanting a boat. Have put it off as my physical mobility was so compromised that it seemed like a ridiculous idea. How does a morbidly obese person with a strung back together pelvis and a fake hip get into or out of a boat? With great difficulty (like everything else) of course.

So much has changed this year. Gaining mobility and strength at the gym, dropping 50+ lbs, mentally in a better space. Been looking around at older boats (end of summer is a great time for pricing) and finally saw one that fit the bill. She's an older lady, Wilker Galaxie 17, with a deep v hull that will safely handle Lake Erie in a bit of a swell. Inboard 120HP motor that runs like a clock. She needs a new coat of paint, some elbow grease and a deserves a new name, but otherwise in my mind, she's right purdy.

Luckily I know a number of licensed boat operators who love getting out on the water and can teach me while I take the online rules and regs course. Since there is a radio on board, I need to take the radio operators course and get licensed. Alpha Bravo Charlie Delta..... (started last night)

Exciting times. Lots of new stuff to learn (and another dream coming to pass)

Over and out.
