It it will seem that you are so far away. The more I think about it the more I worry. And all of that water- every way you look water. I don't even put my face in the shower spray. I actually keep a dry wash cloth to dry my face in the shower if it accidentally gets wet. Knowing you'll have a cat does make me feel better for some reason, like everything will be fine with the General on board.
    I have a nervous stomach, too, Motherhubbard..... but mine is from excitement! I've never been this happy in my life! Don't be scared for me.... I've spent more of my life on the sea than on the land and I'm quite at home there. (specially now that It doesn't make me sea-sick anymore!!)

    Take care and keep your face dry!

    All those swimming lessons were wasted on her!

    When does your trip start, Bib?

    Tonya wants to know the following:
    can you tie a rope around yourself 24/7 in case you fall off the boat?
    can you also tie one to the cat?
    How will we know if you've fallen off the boat or get attack by pirates?
    What if we think you're out there having a good time and your sick or drown?
    You have to check in on a schedule and that way if we don't here from you we can send the Coast Guard out for a gay sailor and General Chat...I promise she's on the phone and I'm typing what she says!

    WOW! Tonya needs to take a Xanax AND a Valium!! Has she always been this panicky?

    If any of those horrible things happen, you'll someday read about it in the papers when they find my boat adrift in the middle of the ocean.

    There is no such thing as a schedule out in the middle of the ocean when you have no job to get back to and no place that you have to be. Saoirse and schedules don't mix.

    If I were you (her) I'd worry more about me TURNING INTO a pirate, rather than being attacked by them.

    Hey, maybe the last one will make her feel better. Yes she has always considered the worse....I have no idea where she gets that. Must be from Poppy. I hope you have a wonderful time and if you ever get up the mississippi, give us a call. We have friends in Memphis who own the greatest gay bar in the middle part of the country. It's outrageous!!!

    Okay maybe not great, as its actually a male name.. "Njord" was the nordic god of the sea. His wife was called Skadi.

    Congratulations with the boat by the way

    Congrats, Tim, on your new boat. Sorry that I missed the naming fun, but you have some great choices there.

    You could always offer your suggestion for my dad's boat.
