belts; and another weekend where Jim and
the team gave us every opportunity to have
a stunning time. Five dad’s, 11 kids, a few
million gallons of water, someone in the back
of the boat who loves their job, and a place to
unwind after it all, where you get to meet the
nicest folks on the planet. We¹ll be back next
year for sure and will continue to grow our
numbers. Thanks for doing such a great job
year after year.”
