A story about a Commander 41 in Central NY

March 16 2006 at 2:09 PM

Bill Mulvey (Login NYBill)

I've enjoyed all the posts at this great forum and the discussions inspired me to share a perspective from central NY. Hopefully, the link below will take you to some photos I threw together and a story about boating life in NY's FingerLakes region. All in all, I'm proud to be its owner and it deserves all the care it gets. The origin of it's name is a story very close to me and I hope you enjoy what you've inspired me to share. Thanks.
