Hi Paul

Looks almost toooo clean. Nice job, even as a second choice. The natural look is nice, but, you've done a great job on that boat. No Aboriginal art deco.........?? :) What have you decided to do for #2?? I don't mean the second boat, but, the significant other. A couple of honey-do's will get you out there on that second boat a lot faster, specially if you do them like I used to do. " Oh my God! Get outta here, I'll do it myself." Well, enjoy your new love and give the wife a hug too! Good luck with the Web-site and we're looking forward to seeing more.
