And when you send the pics of the gifted craft, please include more pics of your surroundings. The ones in the past were great!

Congrats!

Can't beat free. You won/t have to look outside and see something that you have a lot of money tied up in that you really love but don,t absolutely need. Sweat equity has its rewards.

Luv the freebies, especially the ones that don't need to much work.

God I look old. The middle Island is shaped like a WW1 warship. To fool the Germans.

Nice boat, bun. A lucky man indeed.
My son took me to Scotland for my 60th birthday as my grandparents were born and raised in Edinburgh before moving to the states. We wanted to see the old homestead, sample your scotch and in the process we both fell in love with your city.
Some sailing pics would be appreciated.

Bun, I wish my dad was still alive so I could ready your post aloud to him. I can just imagine the smile of his face. He spoke very good "american" until he got mad, then I almost needed a translator!
I'll have do dig through some files to get the general location.
