If there is one thing that the "Founding Fathers" of offshore have in common, it is a true joy for life. They are all so friendly, seem genuinely happy, and are so generous of spirit. They are a gift to all of us who came behind them. I hope that they know how much we appreciate their continued involvement in the sport and in our lives. We need to support them, and their amazing legacy of boats, adventures, and stories.
Here is one of the best storytellers, and nicest men you will ever meet, with Paul. He also happens to have a magic throttle arm.
A magic moment. The day you get to show the people who built and painted your boat what it's been up to for the last 28 years.
And they remember it vividly. (We built that one heavy...) Learned something from Gail and Bobby: there is an Indian head hidden in every paint job.
Oh yeah, and the guy who built my boat happens to have been on the Warpath crew.
Some guys talking about how to raise a hundred grand for an important project. A certain ICONIC 32 Cary that holds an honored place in history for it's significance to the evolution of the sport and the boats and brands that would follow.
