After a January nor'easter dropped a tree on my boat I found myself looking for a new one. It didn't take long and believe it or not it was my wife that found one online. "What about this"? she asked me. It was at J&W Marine in Salem where I bought my Sea Pro in 2001. I sold the Sea Pro in 2012 to help pay medical costs for my brother-in-law.2000 20' Key WestMy 2001 21' Sea Pro.New boatJay Alberthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06053808790063404443noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16842326.post-52259161090698589092024-01-29T01:14:00.001-05:002024-01-29T01:14:18.060-05:00Random Summer Images Over the Years!

I'm now a sun worshiper, in a way. On January 2nd we had solar panels installed. The solar company showed up 7 am Jan. 2 and they were done installing the system by 2:30 pm.
