Hello Gus, me and

my buddy Bill were

on your boat Dec 1st

of last year. We had

a great time and the

crabbing was fun. I

hope all is going well

for you now.

Gus,

I just wanted to drop you a note to thank you for the great fishing trip
last week on the Little Manatee.  Great weather, great company, a
functional fishing boat, and great seafood the likes of which very few
people get to enjoy.  With those qualities your new charter business should be a success as the word is spread.

Thanks again.
