Back to the Water

After 4 years on the beach, I was finally able to get back on the water in 2012. Deciding the best course of action was to sell the Privateer, the Tiny Tyke II, inherited from my dad, I did some minor repairs and listed it on Craigs List. While waiting to sell it, I was able to buy a 15-ft. Lund aluminum skiff from an old friend of my dad's, and after getting it ready to go, launched it on July 14th. I christened it Li'l Tyke, to continue the family tradition in boat names.
