So, the "secret" is out. Couldn't be happier - thanks again, good buddy. I know it's a bittersweet development for you but trust the ol' gal is in good hands.
Over the last couple of years, Mike's made comments to me several times about selling. I of course, did my my best to dissuade him. It was my C-Brat duty to point out he was nuts for even considering it.
This year, he seemed pretty determined - and I suppose I got weak. Given I was boatless and no longer wished to be, perhaps I was slightly less pushy about him keeping TyBoo another year.
As Dr. Bob mentioned, the 25 Cruise Ship is a very special boat, and the provenance of this one makes it sweeter still. It has all the unique and special touches from our favorite millright, and while I've a few updates in mind - I feel right at home in it as-is. So stoked.
First orders of business - bottom paint and a name. One of those is easier than the other.
