New Motor for the Double D

Say goodbye to the Yamaha. Say hello to the Honda. Mario, Todd’s BFF,  the local Bahamian mechanic, gave a list of reasons to bury the Yamaha, and happened to have his own personal motor for sale. After months of frustration with the old motor, the boys opted for a newer version. Today they are back at the shop working out the problems with that one.

Todd’s boyish spirit got thinking  about all the ropes and pulleys on the boat and the fact that he should be able to swing  “Tarzan” style from the boat and drop into the water. This challenged Andy’s engineering mind, and the two of them spent time trying to create the  “swingout feeling  “ that Todd was seeking. After numerous attempts at the “ the thrill” they had to settle for the drop and plop.  Pics to come. 

Cocktails took place on the Queens beach at a bonfire with local musicians. Lots of fun banter and sailing stories and some great alcohol inspired singing and instruments. Todd was amazed, but the infamous ladder that he was assigned to play at his first family Christmas was part of the band.
