May You Stay Upright During Strong Winds

A couple of years ago Huricane Frances came calling and with that we bid adieu to what was our boat. It was not a fancy boat. It wasn't big. It wasn't fast. It wasn't a boat that attracted attention. It was however, PAID FOR. Also slowly washed away during that particular Huricane season, was the dock. Ultimately, it took the boat insurance money and a few other $$$'s to rebuild and repair and the time and talents of my FIL to restore power and lights. Thank you Ted. So, we have patiently sat at the end of our dock, sans boat and watched as others have more fully enjoyed the spoils of life along the St. Johns river. That has now changed. We once again have our boat. It is not a fancy boat. It isn't big. It isn't fast. It will not attract the attention of others. And hopefully, it will not attract the attention of another Frances...

That looks like fun! I hope you will get to enjoy your new boat and your new dock for many years to come.

Ah.....a steamy Florida summer day on a nice open boat - nothing but sprays of salty water, and ocean breezes. Enjoy every minute and congrats on the new boat!
