It was a perfect shirt-sleeve October day here in Montauk today. Even if MON TIKI had gone straight to the bottom I don’t think that could have ruined it.
But MON TIKI didn’t sink.
She swims!
More on the day’s events and more photos later. Right now I’m getting a bunch of blankets and going down to MON TIKI to watch the Orionid meteor showers.
Byooful, bro. Hey, it’s a congratulations kind of weekend!Report
David she is gorgeous! Smooth sailingReport
You sea! I resign myself to you also – I guess what you mean,
I behold from the beach your crooked inviting fingers,
I believe you refuse to go back without feeling of me,
We must have a turn together, I undress, hurry me out of sight of the land,
Cushion me soft, rock me in billowy drowse,
Dash me with amorous wet, I can repay you. Sea of stretch’d ground-swells,
Sea breathing broad and convulsive breaths,

Congradulations!Report
Sweet.Report
Woohoo!Report
Congratulations! (As nervewracking as it must have been to get it there, it must be even more gratifying to relax on a boat that *YOU* made.)Report
This is very cool- there is nothing so satifsying than to use something built with our hands.Report
That is a damned fine-looking boat! I foresee some good times on deck.Report
Holy fish, David! She’s bloody gorgeous!Report

‘Ere we go, ‘ere we go, don’t know where till we get there.
Congratulations!Report
Quit svelte compared with that other TIKI but I feel Thor would approve.
Well done and congrats to all involved.Report
Ok it’s now Tuesday, where is our launch video! 😉Report
Got up this morning and slung my laptop bag over my shoulder with the full intention of going down to the boat and making a slideshow of the launch.
But instead I ended up doing some carpentry and then taking a nap on the results of said carpentry.Report
sounds like a good day.Report
