Q & A: How do you recharge?

Making Progress through the National Maritime Center
Ugghhhh, the Coast Guard Licensing process is slow and really backed up right now, so I’m still waiting on my actual Coast Guard License. But, lots of progress.

Third Time’s a Charm!
Several weeks ago we received another offer on Tulum IV and but the offer fell through. It’s frustrating as we know the boat is offered at a fair price and we know we’ve done the work needed to make her shine, purr and show well. Since putting her on the market in October, we’ve installed […]
