Well, I just wrote a song called “Bigger Boat”. This is a common affliction among those of us in the boating community. Today, I took heed of my own writing and bought…you guessed it…a “bigger boat”. We are going from a 19’ pontoon boat with a 50 hp Yamaha to a newer 24’ tritoon with a 150 hp Mercury. This will augment the new Boston Whaler that we bought last year.

Boating season will be here soon! My charter schedule is booking trips now. In the meantime, I’m spending time at my new “Hangar” where my Boston whaler “Pair-A-Docs” is staying warm and dry. This place is magical.

Spending time during our Winter months in Clearwater Beach, Florida. Visited the aquarium there and finally had the opportunity to watch the manatees up close and in action. Haven’t seen any in Lake Erie yet!😎
