I have renewed hope for humanity. I have just experienced the most selfless act of helpfulness, from our very own Healhustler and Oliver.
I recently purchased a boat in Fort Lauderdale, and due to various illnesses and schedule conflicts, my mates could not make the trip. So I was stuck bringing home an unfamiliar, and not totally ship shape repo boat alone. Larry pitched in and drove all the way from Indiantown to install a temporary mount for my dingy outboard, then he picked me up at the airport, drive me to West Marine so I could waste some money, and then and the grocery store, and then he checked out the boat to make sure I wouldn't sink. How about that folks?
But wait, that's not all. Another trawler forum member, Oliver, installed a full suite of electronics for me before the trip and met me at the last minute to show me how to operate everything. This guy knows his stuff, so when he speaks, listen up.
I made it from the National Liquidators dock to Old Port Cove marina today-- left at 6:30 before daylight and got here at 3:30. Oliver's electronics were perfect and the remote he installed for the autopilot was so nice.
Here is my dock neighbor...?
