Here’s the Eclipse, nearly full.
The Marine Star (Aquarama) got it’s first coat of paint in who knows how long. Someone was kind enough to cover up the grafitti that marred it earlier this year. The cool thing is they even managed to match the paint colors pretty well!

Oh – congratulations on the new expectant arrival.
