These are the dolphins that intercepted our path home to say goodbye.

@Emma I embarrass my kids frequently mostly by just being a goof ball in front of their friends but sometimes I call them out too.

Your dad is a great guy whom I finally had the pleasure of meeting in person. One of my regrets was that we both did not have more time to hang out as he was tending to the jetboaters family and yours while I was only able to try and tend to my immediate family.

I did also have the pleasure of meeting you and getting a first impression of your spirit. Don’t lose that ability to instantly connect with people of all types and ages as it will serve you well in life. I can honestly say it was my pleasure meeting such a vibrant and outgoing young lady such as yourself.

Hope to see you and your family again soon.

I have to admit that my birthday was not as good as the one I had in 2015, when you and your family sang happy birthday to me over the vhf in Bimini.
Haha, I remember that

I hope you are gettting ready for a rough crossing.
Unfortunately yes, trim tabs are the last thing to get. I still can't decide if I want to spend the extra $$ for the auto controller. Other than that, she's ready to go!

No need for the GPS controlled fully automatic controller. Just get a four button controller for left, right, up and down which is a big upgrade from up and down individually for the tabs.

I have now a plenty of time with the auto controller. Auto is great to adjust list. I find myself turning auto off frequently in order to bury the bow more or for tow sports. I also enjoy auto adjusting for the list turning it back to manual and burying the bow more with the list corrected but of course I could correct the list on my own. Auto is great for lake crusing for everything else I find myself switching to manual so with that said I think the MLC is the way to go.
