It's 1am east coast time, 1pm Beijing time, 7pm Kona time, and 10pm California time.  My body has no idea how to act now having been in 4 time zones in the last 3 days.  I'm here in Michigan for the annual Tiara yacht dealership, without letting the cat out of the bag (but I must comment), Steve Lassley has been working with Tiara engineers on an all new Tiara 48 Convertible.  It will have all the west coast options, including a full blown Bad Company Edition.  You know.. with the full Lassley tower, Furuno sonar, tuna tubes, twin tanks, etc.  Pretty exciting model with 3 staterooms, mezz deck and cockpit and plenty of fuel capacity.  We'll follow up with a posting on the specs and drawing of this boat soon.

Ron is still in Kona, fishing is firing on all cylinders.  3-5-7 in 5 days of fishing, that's outstanding!!!  They jumped off a 450 and 700lb plus today and a 500 on Tuesday, with the full moon coming up in a few days, it could get juicy there.  Ron was originally planning to come to the CNY tournament on the mothership this weekend in San Clemente, but he is trying to change his flight and stay in Kona.  I don't blame him, it's prime time over there.

Seen Greg's posting on Knock Down today, what a nice looking rig.  That will be a special boat indeed.  Congrats Greg, Dara, and Zane.

Ok, it's 2am.  I have an all day meeting in 6 hours, but I have no desire to sleep since it's 2pm in Beijing!!!

See may of you Friday at Clemente.
