Patti and Barry....Thanks!
Warren......I've been on Lake LBJ in Central Texas since I was 12 years old, first in a 14' outboard, and for the last 22 years a 20' Kayot with a 260 Mercruiser I/O. I've zoomed around the 21 mile long lake to my hearts content pulling skiers, tubes, etc., but missed most of the scenery for concentrating on dodging other boats and those dog-gone jet skis. I now want to slow down, enjoy the ride and explore other waters. I saw boats like this 3 years ago when my wife and I took an Alaska cruise out of Seattle. Beautiful water up that way, I'd love to cruise those waters in Soulmate. I hope to learn enough to be a competent skipper on the ICW, and rivers like the Arkansas and Tenn-Tom and the like. I'm semi-retired now so have more time to learn. Just joined U.S. Power Squadron today. If I live long enough, may get up your way!
