The Shangri-La

Today Barbie and I bought Frank & Jill's share of the Shangri-La making us the sole owners. Two years ago Frank had the boat up for sale. I knew he really didn't want to sell her but it was getting too much for him to handle so on August 1st, 2005 we made a deal with Frank to share in the cost of maintaining the boat and bought half of the boat from him. This would give Frank another couple of years enjoying this classic cruiser and would give me a couple of years to learn how to handle the boat and how to fish Lake Michigan. We celebrated today's purchase by having cocktails and hors d'oeuvres with Frank & Jill aboard the boat. Afterwards Barbie and I will spend the next two nights aboard our vintage cruiser.
