The fellowship of boaters

[hack4alivin]

In our short time as boaters the one thing that really stands out is the friendships that are made with your fellow boaters. We have met so many new people and forged long lasting friendships all from the boat and the marina. So when we heard that one of our fellow boaters here at our marina was diagnosed with cancer, of course we were concerned. Over the winter months he had successful surgery to remove the cancer but is now going through Chemo therapy. Well in a small effort to help him out we put together a group of very generous volunteers and spend the other morning cleaning, waxing, and getting his boat ready to splash. Even our MM Marina has volunteered to help out by doing the bottom painting for him.


We are all looking forward to seeing him and his family on the water very soon.

A special thank you to the crew of Sandy, Matt, Pat, Terry, Mark, Hans, and Ryan!

When Bill mentioned that he wanted to do this project for Joe, the only question was "WHEN"? As you can see from the photos, the work that was done was with much care and attention.

Get well soon and see ya on the water!
