......it was probably such a challenge to teach the guy with the hat, how to drive the boat. You know, there may be a lot of words used to describe that co-pilot (guy with the hat), but "cute" isn't one that immediately comes to mind.
Sorry John, sometimes the truth hurts?
(Adorable little girl by the way, and lucky to be with a guy who loves boats as you do).
I resemble that remark! I'll tell you what... if that boat had power steering, I could have taught that li'l "carpet shark" how to back her in the slip. She's a smarty-pants!
For some reason which remains a mystery to me, I recall my name being associated with this photo in the past. My wife asked my why I was laughing out loud at the computer this morning, and I had to show her this photo. Now my browsing activities are now suspect. Fortunately, she has a good sense of humor, but it took a moment before she laughed too.
Good one Paul, thanks for making us both laugh this morning, and for initiating a discussion about a runabout project too.
