Hey everybody-Dan Peterson from Tenacious here-We were pulling out today but before --we went .I needed a few minutes of radio time.-When I first joined this family of cruisers,13 years ago,the pleasant plus surpise I got was the readiness of cruisers to help out their fellow cruisers,whether with information,talents,parts or pieces.Never asking for or expecting monetary reimbursement. --This creates a need in the recipient to try his darndest to help the next guy,to pass on the benevolence they've received.Like a candle in the darkness!!! Cruisers are people who'll go 50 miles out of their way to help another boater in need of help and not necessarily in an emergency situation.---Average now becomes exceptional and exceptional now becomes normal.---Even then every once in awhile you meet some exceptional people who stand out.---If we were like actors who give themselves awards,there's some I would nominate as cruiser of the year.----Peter Greengrass on Delphis--I'd not only nominate you I'd find a way to vote for you twice.I can't thank you enough for the free charts,free help and electrical insruction.---They say you can pick your friends but you can't pick your relatives.We're not giving you a choice--You now have two brothers on Tenacious that'll turn around and go 50 miles the wrong way to help you anytime.----Also the Boren family on Third day
