Hot Damn

Hot damn, Captain Chris, did we ever have a great time!



Thank you for making Laura’s birthday such a special one, and a special one it was. Your seamanship, your exuberance, and your attention to detail far surpassed anything we could have ever dreamed. And as I said on the boat “Neptune loves you,” and he loves Laura too. It must be so because on a day when the weather was nasty all around us, the sky was clear above your sails and the waves were playfully rambunctious without being annoying. And you even managed to order up a rainbow. You are the man!



Well, as I wrote to a friend who I just sent an email to lauding your skill at making magic, you started the day as our Captain and quickly became our friend. And it is a friendship we plan to nurture for the rest of our lives. Soon, very soon, we will be anchored side-by-side in some secluded bay of warm water sipping traditional daiquiris and grilling spiny-lobster after a day of diving. That’s a promise not a dream! And Laura and I have decided that the wee-one’s first sail will be on Uncle Captain Chris’ boat. So if we don’t see you sooner, we will be coming down sometime toward the end of January or early February to take the wee-one out for his or her first sail.



Again, my new friend, thank you for making Laura’s birthday such a special one.
