GOOD BYE BTExpress HNT

I sold my boat, the BTExpress, this week. We had 10 great years on that boat. I think my most favorite times on the boat was the summers I put up my pool behind the boats. Everyone hanging out, eating and drinking to abandon. Great times!


We spent most weekends during the summer at the Watch Hill Marina on the Fire Island National Seashore. Once a year we'd take a trip with our friends on our boats. Usually it was out east to Shelter Island or the Montauk Yacht Club. One year we even went to Newport, Rhode Island.

This picture was taken by our friends Dan & Sue while we were cruising across the Peconic Bay here on Long Island and the way I prefer to remember her. Bye, bye BTExpress, I'll never forget you.


You can read the rest of the story in my last post, here.

Happy, Yet Sad, HNT!

HOLY CRAP! Even Lynn made an HNT post this week too. Check it out.

I clicked the pic but couldn't find you in there. Which one is you?

We had a boat when I was a kid during a short period when we had money. I have some great memories going out on it. I hope I can settle in one place and be able to get one in the future.

Hey, at least you got rid of more crap from the basement!

HHNT!

Hey Joseph !!! I have tons of memories of when I was a kid and spent the summers on my families boat !!! What a blast we all had. My favorite was camping on Sand Island just near Captree bridge. Wish Bill and I would have been able to aford to buy your boat and the gas to run it. Well one day we will have a boat but the kids will all be grown by then. Keep up with the great work on the posts I love them !! I need to start my own when I figure all this stuff out on here.
Hugs and kisses
and Happy Fathers day

Hey! I'm here!

Anyway, I am happy for you, selling the boat. It's sort of a rebirth for you, and that's super.

That boat looked like a lot of fun though!
Glad things are settling down for you two! XX

I was your first and I don't get an invitation to read Lynn's blog? I feel so used! If you weren't so hilariously entertaining I would rethink our relationship, Joseph! ;)

I hadn't realized that you've had it in storage for 5 years. Definitely time to let it go. Thank God he invented memories!
