Hi h, thanks for the reply.
Not on the site for quite awhile. I see others in the old group are not on much either.
I gotta get the boat out soon. I have been teaching art a lot, and busy on Facebook. I think everyone went to Facebook.
So are you at the new floating docks?
The song on your video is beautiful
Hey tell me..Ive been there...anything to get installed is a total boat tear up...I plan to sail it this summer messed up, and then get it back to livable space.
It sure was nice hearing from you h.
Hi H,
Thanks for your message last night I wasn't awake that late. I bought a boat around Thanksgiving time and am learning to sail on that boat. I took a few lessons from my friend, but I have crew that are also teaching me on my own boat. I just have to get my heat exchanger back on after a cleaning so I can go sailing again.
