Ho Ho Ho, It is Christmas Time Again. Just a few months ago it was New Years. Sheesh, time is flying. Well I am glad to be back from Fajardo, Puerto Rico. I am done with the Paradiso refit and the boat is in the British Virgin Islands beginning two weeks of Luxury Charters. Keep an eye out for www.sailparadiso.com, it will be up and running soon. I was able to come home a few days early and surprise my family, that was the greatest gift of all. It truly is the simple things in life that give the greatest pleasure, one would wonder why I am still constantly complicating my life with Firetrucks, Dirtbikes, Remodels, Boats, Tortoises, Snakes, High Power Rockets, Growing the Worlds largest Pumpkin, and whatever the next thing is that I can find on the Internet. I know my wife does. Happy Holidays to All.
