The Day we splashed

Photobucket - Video and Image HostingI am backtracking in a way... seeing that I just started this site a few days ago...(today is really the 9th of Aug.) but I just realized that I can change the dates on my entries to the original dates.. sooo I'm going to go" back in time"..so to speak... and add previous events and pictures from the begining when Eddie purchased Spindrift aka Miss Emily.

That way Eddie and I can share these pics with the real Miss Emily, his daughter (Alex Emily)...and the rest of our families and friends. So on this particular day.. two days before Eddies birthday....our friend Dean (who works in the boatyard...and who has been extremely helpful to us ) came by and gave us a bottle of champagne .. just before we were ready to get her back into the water! Just so you can keep up, Her name was STILL Spindrift, and we wanted to take her out for one last sail under that name. Now, if you know or don't know about sailboats.. or any boats for that matter...we had been told that there are certain protocols to changing the name of boats (some dont even recommend it and say its bad luck)...and we were told by Dean that we had to break a champagne bottle on the bow before we splashed her again. Of course we thought it was a great idea..(no need to add any bad luck in the future, right?!) .....so here are the pictures from that day.... watch Eddie run from the Champagne bottle after it hit...it was hilarious!!! PS oh..and I have since found out...there are TOO many rules and superstitions to keep up with but we doing our best! Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
