Boat is being fixed up more.

All boats take tender loving care.  And this year we are finnaly finishing the painting started 3 years ago.  Now the boat is wearing a complete new skin form top to bottom of Oyster White with a deep blue boot stripe and the classic Uniflite slash on the side of the house.

Our last section of hull was done this spring.  A very big area.  If anyone needs a high end painting service I cannot recommend anyone better than Prestige Boat Maintenance of Marina Del Rey.  A real artist.  Thank you to Luciano and crew.  From the radar arch to the non-skid and on down to the water line.  Great care.

The first step this season was to haul out and do a bottom paint job with anti-fouling paint.  And to service the prop shafts and the strut bearings.  Then we got started in the yard to prep the boat.   Now it is done.

Feeling good about it.  So now I want to get out and use her this season.

New "Fish Wish" is for lots of fair weather days for happy boating in 2010.

New Commuter bus - Pier to Pier

Malibuites will love this next time there is a mud slide or a fire.  But would they use it to go see a play or to go to the opera downtown?

"Proposed new bus service from Malibu Pier to Santa Monica Pier will save many commuting hours for Malibu residents. Cool new boat bus design uses hydrofoil technology to efficiently get commuters into the city fast. With the new Boat Bus and the termination of the city metro rail line in Santa Monica at Colorado Blvd it will be possible to park at Malibu Pier and travel to Downtown Los Angeles!"

Got to love the Japanese design. Form and function match if you ask me.
