The Bluebird has launched!








Well we just got home from launching the Bluebird. AWESOME! She floats! We had a lovely christening ceremony here at the house and then took her down to the harbor and SHE FLOATS! It was awesome. It is so beautiful and so incredible that Mike built her! We cruised around the bay for an hour and a half or so. Didn't splash the boat til about 10:40pm. Gonna sleep a couple of hours and then get up at 7am for more!!! Love you guys and will post more pics soon..

Congratulations Michael! and Caroline! What a beautiful boat. It is something to be proud of and we are so proud of you! Enjoy! Hey, we want to see a picture of the name, "Blue Bird"... or maybe that's to come :)
We love you both.
So Dave and Becky are coming up in the fall... when is that going to happen?

Blue BIrd looks so professionally done. We notice something new to admire everytime we look at the pictures. We will be honored to ride in her next time we come up :)

Mike and Carol said...

opps... we misspelled Bluebird. It's only one word. Go Bluebird!

Dave and Becky are too poor to go up there this fall but hopefully Mike and Caroline will stop by on their way down.-becky

Hey old-Becky-Ross :) I've been trying to get Dave on here to let you know that we are looking forward to a visit in September. We'd like an opportunity to get to know that husband of yours a bit better!

maybe Dave & Becky are surprising Mike & Caroline, which would be amazing, but Mike & Carol spoiled the surprise..... I'll keep my fingers crossed. :) Thanks for all the comments! We are having such a great time. I can't believe how great the boat is. Such a pleasure to ride on too. Love you guys

I spied on your family page, and I'm not sorry! Wow! I can't believe it's finally finished! I showed Laurence and he said "No way! That's AWESOME!" As always, very impressive Mike.
