Boating, Hunting and Fishing
I'm an avid boater and fisherman as well as hunter. I especially share in a passion for the water with my wife in which we keep our boat water slipped at the Huron Lagoons Marina. We have enjoyed boating for approximately 35 years now, owning a total of 4 boats with our most recent, a 1989 SeaRay 250da which we continue to restore as time allows. We enjoy marina life with family and friends and love destination boating in particular. We look forward to passing along our love of boating to our first grandson in the coming years.
