I'm not saying I don't enjoy waiting to see if Grad's is going to blow up his paddleboard with a Willie Peter flare, of course I don't want him to get hurt, but the stories are funny as shit. But there's nothing I can add to it, it is what it is. I enjoy your jokes, I enjoy the pictures here, I enjoy the boat events being covered. But I'm not looking for new friends or a group to drink with. But that's just me, unlike what 2manymustangs believes and enjoys, there's a lot of us who boat because it often offers the opportunity to get away from people and the crowds. I don't care what the hoards are doing up at the sandbar or copper canyon, it's easy enough to boat the opposite or stay home those weekends.
Like Bob said, those that find here what they're seeking will stay and perhaps in time they'll be welcomed into the inner circle, or not and leave.
Hey, at least I'm posting
Inner circle? Ok lets see, I known Mateo for awhile. We've had a business lunch or two, never hung out with him outside of that. Met Grads and hung out a little with him once at the Christmas cruise, nice guy in person. Maybe a few times for Eli, Catalina ski races, once on the HB Cruise, and at the SCOPE party. Met 2MM at Needles a couple weeks ago, first time I met him. Very cool guy by the way. Also met Paul65K for the first time at Needles, also a very nice guy. Each and every one of the "inner circle" folks are actually very nice people, considering I really don't know them that well. Hoping to get to know them a little better actually.

Honestly, I think you'd be hard pressed to get much of a different story from any of the "inner circle" lol
