and the road goes on and on and on and on and on and on and on...........

Andy:

we are referred to as "the computer people"

So our updates have started to get a little random since the arrival of the ladies and Carl.  Don and I had developed a very efficient and effective routine that covered everything we needed to do and have access to for the day.  Then the other three came along and it seems like all Don and I are doing are covering for mistakes they have made.  However, that still means three people are getting work done instead of two which I guess is better.  5 people getting work done would be even better though.

I should be done today

The last couple of days it really seems like these lists just never get smaller.  We are still starting projects only to find they release more projects rather than just being done.  Don spent the week with the mechanic rebuilding the engine.  He has developed quite the tradesman's attitude.  By this I mean he has a dramatic sigh and deep thinking face when asked anything about what he is doing followed by some quick, hard to understand statement that is filled with part names we have no idea about.  All this is then finished by an ETF (estimated time finished) which has steadily gotten further and further from the truth as the week goes by.  Based on yesterdays estimate it is now appropriate to multiply Don's estimate of how much time he needs by 3.

"Let's go!"

Carl has jumped into the fray with an enthusiasm unrivaled by anyone.  He has managed to keep this for the whole week and we all hope this never leaves.  Carl has fallen straight back into his role of disagreeing with Don on absolutely everything.  This is a major factor leading to my earlier comment about Don's productivity going down.  He does do this with such vigor that it is hard to knock him for his distractions.  His projects this week have included bagging dog food for a day to keep any bugs out.  He replaced the binnacle compass, he hung extinguishers and finished the week off with two days of toilet maintenance and replacement (there will be pictures and video of this).  He seems to like this last job and handled the smells with only a couple of screams that would rival any 10 year old girl.

indoor plumbing is pending

Leslie has been charging around the boat organising shit.  I am really not sure what shit she has been organising but she sure looks like she has been doing a lot and she does it in such a classy way that you don't really ever question what she is doing.  Except evidently when you are writing a  blog about what Leslie has been doing this week.  When asked, her response is a resounding "weeding out what doesn't belong and practicing my Spanish"  sounds good to me.  Plus she cleaned a lot, people that means a lot.

working hard

Lisa has been charging around cleaning stuff.  Taking apart and cleaning the kitchen and then putting it back together.  Pulling out as many recipes from her cook books as she can before we get rid of them.  More cleaning and a little cooking.  All of that took about 35 minutes and the rest of her week has been spent establishing herself as the pack leader when Carl is not around.  This has meant that Raleigh gives 60% of his attention to Carl and 39% of his attention to Lisa.  I get about 0.25% of this attention and most of this is Raleigh rolling his eyes at me because he has to share Lisa's attention with me.  Dogs in my opinion are overrated and should not be allowed in bedrooms.

he freaking loves to lay in walkways

Raleigh has been adapting well.  He has taken the crew into his pack quickly and is a very good dog.  He consistently makes very supportive whining sounds when we leave and come back.  I take this as him saying "go have fun guys, don't worry about me I am just a dog and have had way to much attention today from Lisa anyways".  Raleigh hasn't fallen off the boat yet or shat or peed on any part of the boat.  This has been a good week for Raleigh.

"the flash"

As for me.  You can basically just take everything everyone has done that is mentioned above and fit me in there.  I have been like the flash this week.  In every place all the time.  It's just what I do.  What can I say I am perfect.  Enjoy the week and the pictures.

"in the shit"

Hey look, it's Glenn!
