The Wife and I went out to lunch today, after we power washed the house and decks. After that, on impulse, we went to a boat show at Harbor House Marina. They were raffling off a cute little boat. My wife asked me if I’d like to win a boat, and I said “Not really, but I would like one of those hats.” (everyone was wearing Harbor House Marina hats.) We went back inside and I found where they were giving the hats away, right next to where they were selling raffle tickets. The Wife bought a raffle ticket.
Then we went outside and there were hamburgers and stuff and a whole lot of people. Then came the drawing, we were so far away we couldn’t hear, so we went closer, just in time for the grand prize drawing, the boat. I went in shock when they called my name. I was zombified. I turned to look at the Wife and she was all excited, jumping up and down. I didn’t know she put the ticket in my name.
So they’re delivering the boat on Monday, I’m still in shock. I can’t wait to go out on it.
If I was going to buy a boat, it would be a boat just like the one we won.
Unbelievable.
oh, now that’s sweet! that’ll shake you out of your rut in a hurry! 🙂
Hot damn! Super congrats. So glad to hear good news about others instead of some of the things I have been hearing lately about friends etc.
I would be zombified too. Enjoy!
Way to go. Nice one. We hope you have fun with it. Have a serene Sunday and we look forward to your boating adventures.
Best wishes Molly
Holy smokes! Congrats! I truly hope you can afford it…Boats cost a ton of money to maintain.
To me this is a WIN. Not just for you but for us out here on the Interwebs. The pics and vids of your Dives are going to be plentiful now….
good things do happen to good people…I’m so fecking happy for you two.
That is fantastic news.
You know, a man living on an island needs a boat!
Your scuba horizons have expanded 🙂
I should have looked at this post before your last one, then I wouldn’t have looked so dumb on my comments. Okay, so that is a pretty nifty boat you won! Just don’t forget to take your fishing rod. And your wife. After all, she got you the boat. “Congratulations! and Celebrations! I want the world to know I’m happy as can be!” Know that song by Cliff Richards?
Wow! How very, very, very cool! Congratulations!
OH MY GOD!!! How bloody fantastic! I dream of having my own little boat. You are so so lucky! Well done to your wife for buying the raffle ticket… she must be so chuffed!!!!!
in Croatia we say that a person feels incredibly lucky about his boat 2 times:
– once he bought it
– and once he sold it 🙂
