Nathans afloat

Captain Chris steers us safely around the California Delta, while Liliane navigates. Terry is fishing the Sacramento & San Joaquin rivers for a couple of days. I won't comment on the catch, but Terry says I distracted him as he was reeling in the big one.

No heavy weather gear, no life preservers... tsk tsk...

I always sailed light myself.. ;D

Looks like all are enjoying the cruise. We are looking forward to seeing photos of the catch.

Was wondering what that row boat looked like. Have a great cruise and good luck with the fishing.

LOL Ron. There have been numerous prior discussions here with photos of the old tub attached.

Boy, the grandson did a great job of cleaning, beautiful boat!!!!!!!!

Dale

Tom · Apr 3, 2008

Thanks Dale. Yes, that young man has a permanent job washing the boat.

Tom · Apr 3, 2008

In true Nathan style, Terry & Liliane found a much larger vessel that they'd be more comfortable in; Check the background of the first photo. They sure look like they're comfortable around and on the water.

Tom · Apr 3, 2008

I had the net ready to land the big one, but Terry's 'big catch' turned out to be smaller than the bait.

Tom · Apr 3, 2008

Brunch yesterday being prepared by Liliane as we swung on a hook in the San Joaquin River. Terry was nowhere to be seen; He must have been trying to catch the big one.

Tom,

Here's one of the yachts in Antibes that Terry was looking at back in 2001. I think it was one of the smaller ones we saw that day.

Tom · Apr 3, 2008

Jim,

Our boat might work as a dinghy for that yacht ;D

BernieD · Apr 3, 2008

I'm sure that Liliane could work marvels with that big catch. She does a great job on the barby with halibut.

Tom · Apr 3, 2008

We sure didn't go hungry Bernie.

Tom · Apr 3, 2008

Chris even let me have time at the helm on our way home. Photo by Liliane.

Hey Tom

Great boat !!!

Not bad for a coal miners son from south Wales..............are you sure dad didn't own the pit ;D

Paul

Tom · Apr 3, 2008

Thanks Paul. Terry and I have talked several times this week about how extremely fortunate we both are.

.... are you sure dad didn't own the pit

err, no; They were all owned by rich English folks, along with the company stores and the schools where they beat the kids for speaking their native Welsh. If you get an opportunity to watch the movie How Green Was My Valley you'll understand ;D

Yes, but none that I remember that really gave a good overall of the boat. How about something like that?

Tom · Apr 3, 2008

Ron,

Click these links from a prior forum message to see some "overall" photos. A few of them might help with perspective/size (sure looks small alongside a cruise ship).

Tom

I would rather be in those rollers in a sailboat.
