hey Todd,

I had a very pleasant chat with Hank, told him I was a friend of yours... What a nice guy, he sounds like he'd be a real pleasure to work with...

The boat he was showing was built in '01, a beautiful bright hull... One of the prettiest boats in town, he had a good spot on the docks, and appeared to be getting a fair amount of traffic. I wish him well...

One of my dreamboats has always been one of his Ocean Cruising models... there's a 40 footer that's been sitting in Beaufort for years, I just love the look of that boat, and Russell at Shepard's Point boatworks over in Morehead City says the build quality on that boat is as good as he's ever seen...

best regards,

Jon
