A little while ago we helped a family who came into the marina with an injured man. The gentleman cut his hand very badly. We called 911 for them and assisted in rendering first aid and cleaned up their boat. These wonderful folks brought us a cake today to thank us for helping out. This type of interaction and gratitude is what the world needs more of. Charlotte also loves cake!!!
