Hi Steve, I am speaking from former experience. I never "hit bottom" with alcohol, but last year I got close enough to see it and didn't like the view, so I've been sober since last December 13 and feeling much better about life in general. "Ol' Blue" (the Sealution I bought from you two years ago at the fall sale) is doing fine. I go places with that boat that I would never touch in one of my lightweight, high speed tortured ply boats - into the rocks at Cape Falcon, up onto the rough shingle of Vancouver Island. Have a great year!
