"Never to land on an island from a boat of one's own building, is to miss one of life's great moments." --Arch Davis That's a great moment very few of us will ever achieve, but Gary has and he's earned it in spades. All of Gary's family and friends, myself included, are VERY PROUD of his tireless efforts creating this beautiful lobster boat. It is indeed the Jewel of the Harbor!
Bon Voyage Gary!
