    Whewww! - We made It!

    I'm Happy to announce - this Crownie is back in the Sunshine State - and can't wait to get back on the water!!

    We made the 600+ mile journey from NC to Central FL this past weekend - and Thanks to your towing suggestions, we made it with no trouble at all! Ryan, your idea about the painter's tape on the leading edge and the inflatable under the cover really made a difference! - THANKS!

    Looking forward to meeting fellow Crownies on the waters of this great Peninsula!!

    John,

     Glad everything worked out for ya.  It looks like that area you're in has a couple of nice little lakes.  If you guys ever want to do any salt water boating just let me know.  Maybe we can plan a little Florida get together (on or off the water) this spring.

     You guys should try and plan to come over for the blues fest.  We usually just boat over and drop anchor about 10 feet or so from the seawall and you can hear all the music without paying to get in!!

    You guys are more than welcome to ride with us if you don't want to bring the boat.
