The Obers Visit




Carol and I enjoyed a nice visit with Neil and Mary Ann Ober on Friday. The Obers are neighbors in NC and Neil and I have some shared history with Eastman Kodak. They were in Marathon for a week in their RV. The day after our visit Neil went up on a biplane and took a few great pictures. The aerial shot of the harbor shows our boat. We are in the fourth row the third boat from the left.

My outboard problems seem to be finally solved. As with some car problems we've had recently, I learned that you have to be able to fix it yourself. The "professionals" just can't cut it! I bought a manual on-line and had to import parts from Key West. I've counted about twenty motors just like mine here ( and a hundred or so other Yamahas) . You would think with that population there would be good parts and service nearby. Go figure!

Hi, Carol and George - just wanted to get in a Happy Birthday to you, Carol. Don't know how often you're on the computer . . . .
Sounds like you're having a grand time. We are so happy for you to have made this trip twice. We'll get there one of these years.
Enjoy the sun and fun.
Love,
Marty and Doug

This looks so cool riding in that airplane above the water! We hope you have good weather for the Bahamas crossing!
