KNEWSLETTER - Special Thanksgiving Issue 

  

With the smoke filled skies it's hard not to turn our thoughts to our neighbors recovering from tremendous loss. Our hearts and prayers go out to you and your families during this difficult time.

Hold tight to your loved ones on this week of celebration of thanks. May you find peace and comfort on Thanksgiving day and beyond.
FROM THE BILGE 
by Paul Kaplan
This is the time of year to take a moment and consider what we are thankful for. This never gets old for me as I am so thankful every day for what we get to do here, and the people that walk through these doors, and the people I get to work with, and the lifestyle that we get to live, and my amazing family, and did I mention I'm a grandpa?, and, and, and... Thank you all so much for everything. There is much to celebrate this coming Thursday. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone. We hope you have a warm, loving and safe holiday! 
KKMI HOLIDAY HOURS
During the Holidays, we will be closed on a select number of days.

CHECKING IN WITH RANDALL REEVES

LAST KNEWSLETTER CHALLENGE & WINNER

CHALLENGE\ANSWER: 



WINNER:   
We have some super smart scramble sleuths out there! There was an error in the original puzzle giving an "S" instead of an "H". Enough of you figured it out though! Thank you for playing!

Congratulations to our big winner this month, Sam Richards! Sam told us that he has pictures of the 20 boats that he's had over the last 46 years but none of them with him in them. So he sent us this one taken a few weeks back. Looking good! We'll be in touch about your prize.



KNEWSLETTER CHALLENGE

This one comes to us from Randall Reeves on his Figure 8 Voyage. Randall was practicing his line splicing... what's wrong with this picture?
 


Simply respond to this email with your answer, or send responses to Marianne:  marianne@kkmi.com   with the subject line "Knewsletter Challenge" 

Winner will be selected randomly from all correct submissions. Winner will receive a cool canvas KKMI Rigger's bag. 


KKMI SIGHTINGS


Halloween shenanigans...

There was a new Sheriff in town and that's no Bologna!







Paul and Jock discuss a project

When it comes to bottom paint, Jock always picks just the right one!



Talk about first class! This boat pulls right up to the dock and gets top-notch Peterson Cat service.





Just another day in Greg's life at work.



We had a special visitor this month. Janis kept an extra eye on the yard while getting her bottom done.
