Ryan's First International Track Meet

June 13 - 15. Ryan had a very exciting and eventful weekend attending the Miami Northwest Track & Field Classic, his first international meet. Ryan is the youngest and newest member of his track club, the Hy-Tech Tigers. He ran the 800M & 1500M and had both his Auntie Nancy, who was visiting Miami for the weekend, and Auntie Jeanie, who lives in Miami, come out to cheer him on. The team brought home 16 medals in total, for a variety of events, including field events, 100M, 200M, and relays. Ryan ran a personal best in the 1500M running it in 6:34. Ryan does not have anyone is his age group to train with, so this meet was a great experience for him and he is eager to get his split time lower and come home with a medal next year.

Boats Boats Boats

Last month we sold our 240 Boston Whaler Outrage and purchased the 270. After all of the boy-toys were added to it (radar, autopilot), we finally had a chance to test drive it today. Not even the rain dampened the ride.

And ...........

Last weekend at the annual Rotary Camelot Auction, as if we needed another boat, we became a one third owner in a run-about boat for the kids, a 13' Boston Whaler Sport 50th Anniversary Edition. We bought this with the 2 Burke families, our future neighbours in The Shores.
