This blog is a journal of the adventures of Rob and Becky...we will do our best at keeping post positive, helpful, and entertaining. No rants, no stories of gloom, just fun and real post. Everybody has drama in their lives and we are no different. This blog will not be our place to vent the bad, but rather to share the adventure. We hope you like it.

Oh, and be advised, we are not professional writers or photographers (and sometimes we're tired or hungover) so if there are misspelled words (probably autocorrect issue), bad grammar, or pictures are out of focus...deal with it...or please comment, we are open constructive criticism and learning.

Manatee

Now for the story of the new "MTN DAWG 5". Maybe "SEA DAWG" because, well, it should be obvious, right?


Her name will remain "MANATEE" as named by the previous owners, Chris and Kelly, who took great care of and loved her as a child.





Manatee is a 1980 Gulfstar 47 foot Sailmaster. She's 47 ft long and 13 ft 10 inches wide, ketch rigged, she has two state rooms, and two heads.








Here are a few pics from when we had her hauled out for the vessel survey...





We are upgrading a few things and fixing a couple minor items, moving in and making it our home. I know what you're thinking "where are they going next" or "what the hell" or "I want to go!" Or maybe "when the hell did Rob and Becky learn to sail"...

We are formulating plans right now so we will have to update y'all more pretty soon.


For now, good sailing to all you landlubbers.

Like The great Captain Ron said, "if it's going to happen, it's going to happen out there".

One last though for this post, from Chief Master Sergeant to Captain, that's a pretty good promotion...or demotion...no, it would be a Navy Captain (O-6 style)... Suck it Rogers!!!!!!


Love y'all


R and B
