The last time I posted up RiverDave had just posted my pictures of my refurbed 1974 Spectra. Well 7 weeks ago on the very weekend I was planning on launching the Spectra at the River I had a huge medical emergency! Some of you know and most don't but I am a kidney patient and on that weekend I went into full on kidney failure! It required surgery and hospitalization. I am now on peritoneal dialysis treatment daily. By the grace of God the love of my wife and family I am happy to report I am on the mend and so well in fact this weekend my sons took me to my trailer at Riverland and we launched my Spectra. I will post pics later this week when my kids return from the River with th camera.
The boat ran great! What a cruiser for me and the family to cruise in! I am so happy with it!
Well any way just thought I'd update you guys for those that were interested and thanks to those of you that stayed in touch over the last 2 months during some scary times!
See ya at the River! And I wish you all a happy, fun and safe boating season!
