A California Seafari with a New England Accent

Tony, I'm glad she arrived safely.
As I'm typing this, the song California dreaming by the Mamas and papas is playing in the background on Sirius radio.What a coincidence.
I am so very happy that this boat went to someone who can only help make them a tiny bit more well known on the west coast.Seems so special to realize that just two weeks ago it was sitting in my yard in Massachusetts,and now is in California and in the future be riding the waters on the Sea of Cortez and pulling skiers in Arizona.
Funny when I saw the pictures of it behind your truck with the palm trees in the background it brought me back to my time at Fort Ord in Monterey,I can even remember the smells of that time in Ca.
I'm delighted that you are so happy with it.Now I'll just sit back and watch the resurrection of it as you bring her back to life.Good luck.

Btw Captain Terry,
I did the same as Tony although I only owned 15 boats before I got my first Seacraft.I wished I hadn't waited so long to do it.Boating wasn't a big thing in my family the only boats my family(grand parents) were on were the ones coming over from Italy.
My father never understood why I was so interested in boats.
His favorite thing was horses,not to own one but to be able to bet on them.
Grew up in an area where phrases like "Fugit about it" and "hey,use guys wanna play bocce" were common speech. Heck my middle name is Armando.

Thank you again, John!
None of this would have been possible without you!
