You can tell that they have a passion for these boats. We are very lucky to have their help.
Sometimes little things can help show our appriciation. I sent them each a bottle of my home made wine one time. I should probably do it again with this next batch. I really thought hard about whether to post this or not but I guess it's ok because my intention here is to give an example of things we can do to thank them, not to pat myself on the back. I would encourage all of us to do our part to show our appreciation...a Christmas card, a restraunt gift card...., whatever. Plus, there's no doubt that if something really bad happened (hitting a log or something) that I would be pulling the boat across 2-3 states to Dan's shop for repairs.
