And very convenient High Tide times allowing us to get out of the marina easily! Just hope for better than awful weather...

My Pal is providing his Windy Chinook as the escort. Been invited to go for the ride, but I have to work Saturday.

Nah. Anything with Hugo Boss' name on it is of no interest to me. For those that don't know Hugo Boss was a Nazi. He designed and made the uniforms for the gestapo.

From Wikipedia...

he became a Reichszeugmeisterei-licensed (official) supplier of uniforms to the Sturmabteilung (SA), Schutzstaffel, Hitler Youth, National Socialist Motor Corps, and other party organizations. For production in later years of the war, Hugo Boss used prisoners of war and forced labourers, from the Baltic States, Belgium, France, Italy, Austria, Poland, Czechoslovakia, and the Soviet Union.^[2] According to German historian Henning Kober, the company managers were fervent Nazis who were all great admirers of Adolf Hitler. In 1945 Hugo Boss had a photograph in his apartment of him with Hitler, taken at Hitler's Obersalzberg retreat.^[3]

It's 2017 in case you hadn't realised. Do you also boycott all things Italian? They did bad things under the Roman Empire.

That's why I refuse to eat Pizza. If I am out with a group I don't allow them to order Pizza either. I am successful at achieving illogical conclusions. On better days I sit in the corner with a wax crayon up each nostril.

Rarely do I smile but that made me chuckle
