    Do these Final Cruise 2011 two pics seem odd to anyone else?

    Yes, indeed! On one hand Carl is a fantastic editor, on the other he was able to pick and chose his shots in more ways than one. So much was lost in translation that it really was one of those "you had to be there..." There were several dozen quips that Carl edited out and numerous pictures, although the most telling ones were head shots with Carl. Read between the lines.

    Mods, do some fast work before I get scolded for telling tales out of school.

    What was interesting is that the "writers" never accumulate in one gathering and we got a chance to see more of the personalities behind the verbiage and hope the YF readers could get a glimpse of that too. I had thought this was going to be a work day (I know, tough job) but it was a blast. Even though I've known Carl, Tom, and Loren for years, I saw a whole new side. And Chuck is incredible. The boat knowledge my colleagues spew off the top of their head is enough to knock your props off. Having 5 creative personalities trying to outjoke each other was a real experience. Nothing like a great day on a boat with friends - thank you, Carl!
