Nine years ago today!!:)

History...... There was once a highly addicted Boston Whaler owner and fisherman who was wandering around out in cyberspace while on his high speed dial up modem.......... there appeared to be a red glow off in the distance..... could it be true? Is it possible? A place out in cyberspace where a Boston Whaler, Fisherman, Teacher be happy....... Nirvana of the boating world?

Upon pondering his new found niche in cyberspace, relaxing in his favorite chair and sipping his favorite single malt libation ........ J.B. Cornwell thought he needed a sign to verify this wonderful discovery........ Could a place like this be acceptable at The Hideout?

Could this be the place to be comfortable and meet people?:confused:

Would he be able to teach and guide people he?

Would these people appreciate his fondness of Boston Whaler's?:confused:

Could he trust these people not to destroy his fishing passions at LOTW?;)

A puff of his cheroot, a sip of his single malt, and best of all was the sunset........ a beautiful red sunset.......JB recalled his favorite ........

Red sky at night,
Sailor's delight;
Red sky at morning,
Sailor's warning.


Congratulations JB! Nine years of assistance and guidance here at iboats!

I've personally learned quite a few things from you in the short time I've been trolling these forums.

I'm sure there are countless others who would agree. Thanks for all your past and future contributions. Its folks like you who've built this online community as a friendly place for advice and general chats around a passion we all share.

Congratulations

Thanks to all for the kind words (and for forgetting my screwups :) ).

Slowed down a lot in these 9 years but still kicking. :)

Congrats JB, thanks for your devotion to this site. It really is the best on the net.

Has it only been 9 years? With as many posts as you have I would have thought you've been around here forever :)

JB: You are the first person I communicated with on IBoats. You helped me get my new (to me) '89 Boston Whaler shipshape in 2006. Many thanks and congrats.
