Hi Hon, where's the direction back to our boat?

A career in boats is exciting for the most part. I meet some very fine people as you rarely meet a boater that you didn't like. I spend almost every day on customer's boats or on my own, so I do get my share of time on the water. My excitement comes in two parts 1) seeing the smile on a customer’s face when he/she gets that new boat, and 2) the freedom to cast the lines when the time permits and do some cruising on our schedule......
