I never had a chance to thank those here on iboats that over the years have truly helped me and made me feel welcome..

They got to relax while I was out making Sales Calls.
We did a "ghost tour" while there and my wife took this picture in the woods of the St. Augustine Lighthouse.
In the same area, she took a lot of random pictures and those have...
Well..
My Holiday just got hitched up and drove off into the sunset..A wad of cash is good, but it was sad watching her go.
Now I can focus on the 18 foot SS I guess.
