IT BEGINS
Re: IT BEGINS
Hi guys,
I'm a new member, Lonnie Black. I had plans to come and join the gathering but just had an enexpected death in family. Sorry I won't be able to meet all of you and will hope to make the next one.
I had just completed my "Baby" a week ago and was anxious to get some constructive criticism on it from you all.
It's a 9' Microcruiser of my own design which I used all Glen-L epoxies, poxygrip and additives with which I was very impressed.
I will attach a pic of "Li'l Salty". She was successfully launced Monday, an hour prior to hearing of my younger brother's passing.
We will be thinking of you.

I am so sorry to hear of your Brother's passing. Thank you for taking the time to let us know that you will not be here.
That is a beautiful boat, and we look forward to seeing it next time.

Sorry to read this but hopefully you will enjoy your boat and make it to the next one no matter where it may be.

The "Li'l Salty" is a sailboat. The motor is a single sculling oar. We live on a lake in Avon Park and have home in Key Largo.

Thanks for keeping us included with the pictures. Great shots.
One question. Who is the rookie docking his beautiful boat bow first?
Only a guy from Missouri would do something like that.
It looks like all the Tubby Tugs need to be assigned to him.
