SURPRISE - - - Miss-Be-Haven Will Have a Marlin Tower

[auguste]

YES, Arctekmarine and I have come to an agreement and they are putting a marlin tower on Miss-Be-Haven.

This will not be a 10 storey sky scraper.

It will have a "buggey" top and the radar mounted on top of that.

I will be standing on the roof of the cabin.

The unit will be bolted onto the cabin and for travel, it will have to be unbolted . . . the tower will be bolted to the deck for all transport requirements.

The deed is done and it will be completed before I arrive in Pirates Cove . . . I will stop at Arctekmarine's shop, on my way down to OBX, and they will do the install c/w Shaeffer outriggers and a centre rigger

Paul Buske (Reel Obsession) has agreed to help me mount the radar once I get to Pirate's Cove

Don't forget the photos Auguste!
But then... we don't have to ask you that, do we?

[jtburf]

Alright


Miss-Be-haven will sure look sharp with that combo !@!!!!!!...John

Give us a date and maybe I'll drop by to see the work being done, and maybe pick up a hardtop from Jim.

Congrats on the tower Auguste. I was wondering if you have ever come up with a design, of course you will have to post pics.
Jim wish the timing could have been better or I def would have gotten you to build my rocket launcher, your a first class guy.

Don't forget the parasol

Will you be able to fit under the bridge leaving Rudder Creek at Pirates Cove or will you have to take the scenic "long way around" around Ballast Point? Peter

[sand box]

Auguste...Sounds Great but watch out for the radar beams when you are up top, with that powerfull radar you bought it will shrivle your precious parts into rasins.

[auguste]

THANKS for the compliments everyone

I am very happy that Jim and I have come to an agreement with arctekmarine to build the tower

YES YES YES there will be lots of pics . . . I can promise you that

The radar will be on top of the buggy (canvas top) so brain and family jewels should be safe

YES it will be the long senic route at Pirates Cove . . . will not be able to pass under the bridge

I will be at Jims shop on Wednesday 12 May 2004 in Bethany CT . . . would be happy to see you

Sweet! Can't wait to see the pictures.

[WEAKFISH]

Once it's installed, you should be able to see the SANDBAR from that vantage point.

Maybe even get a few nice shots from way up there

I am starting to get visions of "What About Bob?" (when they lashed him to the sailboat mast!)!!!!!

Auguste will ENJOY the "long way 'round" at Pirate's Cove from that tower!!!

Anxious to see it, for SURE!!! I am told there will be a "walk-up bar and jigger cabinet" up there, plus a Lazy-Boy RECLINER!!!

NEXT MONTH!!!
