Rick, you guys ain't Yankees ....... read my signature line! You've got the soul of airboaters and that's a Southern thang.
It was my great pleasure to meet all of you this weekend. Next time we'll use my boat.

Nice to see y'all got home safe. Oh, and try not to unload the boat in the driveway, OK? :lol:

Glad you got back home safe. Sorry I didn't have more time to chat with you. Although I did get to shake your hand and push you down the boat ramp. That polly is some pretty good stuff. Thank you for traveling so far to be a part of this event. And don't worry about that Yankee thing. Your an Airboater. Like Olf says, Being Southern is a state of mind.

Thank You
John C.

:) Rick
Glad you all made it back safe and sound it was real nice meeting all of you. We enjoyed the ride on Sunday and time spent in the Casino Saturday night can't wait to see those pictures.

Just remember in Florida we find someone else to blame so go ahead and blame me for not reminding you that the ramp with steep and you might want to tie your boat even if ten other people are hollered keep the boats moving.

No matter what will always remember you and the crew.

I think you jinxed the game when you flew that Michigan flag all over the 'glades in view of all the gators out there. :lol:

DBREWSTER is very right.... you ain't gonna have a hard time talking those ladies into coming back! Glad they got to take some tan back with them.

But Dangit. You left us with some chilly weather..... It's supposed to get down to 35 tonight here in Orlando area.

Not as cold at you!!!
