Very True ! We were a long way from home but quickly felt "at home" due to the friendly faces that helped us launch, dock, and relax during our first visit to this event.
Fun people, fun boating, great event for a deserving cause !
We met many new friends that weekend and hope others will have the same positive experience we enjoyed.
