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?

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.
