Having a great network of friends/captains pays off again. I had a boat here in FLL that I was overseeing in the yard after a purchase. She was being shipped up to the Great Lakes where I was supposed to fly up and deliver her to Chicago. Because the ship was delayed and I had a Pryor delivery commitment I reached out to a captain friend in Michigan, Chuck Fidelman , who jumped in last minute and met the boat in Sarnia and got it to Chicago. Good job and thanks again Chuck.
