Now some of us are big children, but this image gives perfect justification for boating at any level and any cost one can afford. When people talk about the "cost of boating", just remember this photo and think of all the great memories that exist due to the fact that Dad decided to spend a little time and money with this hobby, and share it with the kids. It's a win/win situation if I ever heard of one!

Bottom photo is "Miss ODonnell", aboard Dad's (Matt ODonnell) 38 Commander Express Flybridge.
