Jeremy is way too smart to start down this path... Or maybe not if we take into account his lack of respect for Texas weather.

Hey Jeremy... Tell every body about your trip to Texas to deliver that A-Cat. I especially like the barn part.

That beer is still waiting on you.

I'm not interested in the manuf side of things even if it did come up, but I would be avail for consulting as I have been on that side of things (read: losing money).

As far as the trip to Texas, Dog, I won't get into the specifics, but I will offer a warning to all Californians traveling to Texas. As it turns out, we native Californians don't know about 'weather'.

1. The wind piping up above 30 kts and the temperature dropping below 60 does not constitute a storm. Who knew?

2. If the sky looks like this in Texas, watch out! I stopped to view the rainbow, little did I know that 5 minutes later a funnel would drop out of the sky and little frozen golf balls would be knocking my cowboy hat off. One hit me in the hand and it was swollen for 3 weeks. Luckily the boat was under the awning of a gas station.




3. No matter how hard you try to blend in, if you're from CA you won't. They know!

Notice the Budweiser and cowboy hat. I tried hard, but didn't pull it off.

Nice pic... I've got some of those from my front step, including the wall cloud about to spit out nasty, twirly things. Jeremy learned that if you see us heading for the cellar or some other safe spot, you might want to try to keep up.

As we like to say, "You ain't from around here are you?"

I don't know the market side of producing glass boats, but wish to just to demonstrate that it is being done here locally by this company
http://www.vectorworkssail.com/about.html and not just imported from across the pond.

Are they making any money? Are they saving any money by building here? Don't know that either.
