What's on the Holiday Gift List?

Jim H · 18-12-2006, 17:51

So what's on the holiday gift list this year?

For my wife: rigging knife, knife halyard, small snap shackle for halyard, three extra sail ties, extending brush for cleaning the hull of slime (but it's not a mop!). Maybe a women's sailing weekend in the San Juans.

For the boat: fuel pump rebuild kit, extra water pump parts.

For the kids: masks and snorkles.

For myself: reservation and deposit on two week charter in the San Juans next July. (A bid on a Pearson 10M was a close second).

For the family: maybe US passports.

So what's on your list?

For the 16 years that we've been together, Caro has always got nice thing's, like winches, clutches etc.

Sometimes she get's electric toilet's

This year it's epoxy, glass, gaboon ply and working through her holiday on the boat.

She also pay's for her presents.

What do I get........I get her, I couldn't want for anything else.

Nothing... I treat her special all year 'round. No need for a phoney baloney holiday to show my love.

(Applies to boat AND wife) ha ha ha

For Ohana: A new engine, a new generator, a Garmin 178C. My wallet says ouch.
For the Admiral: A rommantic night without the kids(I hope she invites me LOL), a candle lit dinner, an after Christmas shopping spree in San Franciscco, and a Martinin shaker.

I have been blessed with enough alcohal to enjoy the holiday (Thanks Thomas

) and aside from that, I, like Sean, get what I want when I want it, so no need for anything special. However, My better half doesn't see it that way, so SHE gets a new sewing machine, and some other more personal goodies (Of course, those could be considered a gift for me

). The boat, gets my blood sweat and tears (and a few choice words now and then) year round, so nothing special for Christmas.
