Charter Update

May 19, 2007: We have been overwhelmed by the response we have received from the charter industry - as of today we have 53 days of charter already booked with signed contracts. That is absolutely amazing, especially considering that we have not left the shipyard yet and Lady Michelle is still to be presented to the world.

It is a wonderful testament to the marketing talents of our charter management team & associated brokers, to the remarkable reputation that Trinity have earned for their product, and to the tireless commitment from my crew. On behalf of LM's owners and myself, I must thank all those involved with this project for their tireless efforts in completing this fantastic yacht, and for your continued support. This is a great example of the success of a team effort.

Thanks, Mike

Thank You Party

May 10, 2007: As our departure from Gulfport is nearing a reality, a great Crawfish Boil was held today as a thank you to the tireless efforts that all the Trinity guys and girls have put into making "Lady Michelle" such an amazing yacht. The event was a great success and a huge thank you must go out to "Lady Michelle's" owners for hosting the event, Threta Mayer for organising it, and Gillian & Candy for packaging all 700 T-shirts.

Quiet Week

April 18, 2007: Not much to report this week. We are back ashore in the paint shed to complete the final paint work on the hull. We are also finalizing the marble installation and expect carpets and furniture next week. Everything is progressing well and on schedule.

Seatrials

April 11, 2007: Yesterday “Lady Michelle” left the dock for the first time and cruised down the river to spend a day on the Gulf of Mexico carrying out seatrials. The idea for this first round of trials was to run through the fundamental systems and to ensure that everything runs correctly out of the box. In spite of less than perfect weather condition’s “Lady Michelle” passed her first test with flying colors. More photos can be seen in the photo section.

Cinibuns

March 22, 2007: A while back we started the routine of giving all the troops working on "Lady Michelle" donuts for their morning tea once a week, which seems to have become quite popular amongst the guys. This week chef George stepped it up a notch and baked 8 dozen home made cinnamon buns which were a huge hit - well done George!
