In 1984 our family sailed from Ohio to our current home in Boca Raton, since then we have cruised and dove in many beautiful areas all around the world.

Thanks in large part to the wireless world we now live in, we have been able to accomplish this while continuing to do business and for Sue teach collage.

Last year we decided it was time to return to the Great Lakes and set off for a two-year adventure aboard Amity4 that would take us back up the coast to the Saint Laurence Seaway and west to our old stomping grounds in Lake Erie, the Canadian North Channel and Georgian Bay.

From here we will continue through the rest of the Great Lakes till we reach Chicago where we will join the Mississippi River, head south to the Ohio and Tennessee River, then on to the Gulf of Mexico, returning to our home dock this fall.

Over the years we have been fortunate to have several of our classmates join us aboard during our travels. Our son Brian also lives in Boca and works on the water.

So where will our next adventure take us? We will let you know in five years from now.

Over the past five years, since our 50th, Sue and I have continued to enjoy time both on and under the water, as well as distant travel on shore, In part with former classmates.

Ironically as I write this Sue and I are aboard M/Y Amity in the Virginia area seeking safe harbor from Hurricane Florence, due to make land fall in two days. Looking forward to seeing all at the 55th.
