Oh I will miss you my ole travel companion. One of my memorable trips was with you when we hitched around the Caribbean before your boat maintenance job started in BVI. What a hoot to hitch sail boat deliveries. One trip to St. Marten let us be blasted sand by the jets taking off on their renown airport runway. A sailing trip around the Gulf islands with you in my Hunter 450 was also such a joyful experience. There were more but I like to remember just Dennis right now... a great buddy!
