Yes, Hawaii… I was skeptical, fearful of overdevelopment and cliches, but I clearly did not know a bloody thing about Maui!  I know a little more now, and I’ll share a bit soon enough, on a separate page devoted to it.

Yes.  Devoted.

In the meantime, I’ll tell you that Straight Jacket was painted while I was gone.  My fears (those pesky fears again) have been MORE than waylaid upon viewing the final product – she is BEAUTIFUL!  I’m tempted by really crappy metaphors and similies, I have to say, it’s that good.

But we’re not done – refitting has begun.  We were hoping to have her splashing by May 4th, but that simply will not happen.  So we’re aiming for the 10th, which means we’ll be tuning the rig as we head out the racecourse on the 14th.  Ugh.

She is something pretty, though.  Regarde!
