Greg is a good sailing buddy. Not only does he love boats and sailing, he is inventive, handy with tools, is a paramedic and fireman, and owns a 5-acre farm in the boonies. Plus he can be talked into just about anything related to boats. For this latest adventure, we both lucked out in that we both had boats we needed getting rid of With this being the first day of the new year, we thought it auspicious to make it the First Annual Boat Burn. Here we see Greg in his 'firefighter' mode, hauling 5 gallon buckets of water out to the burn pile in preparation of the event.
