[C38] We made it home!

[Max Soto]

That sounds like a great trip.The ICW  is a great way to get to know a lot
of beatiful places that aren't common on road trips. My father took his boat
from Bronsville TX, to mobile AL thru the ICW, in order to catch a ship and
bring it to Costa Rica. Told me that he went to places that he tought
wouln't find in the US and was amazed about the sights. I can only imagine
(with the help of a few magazines) how beatiful this will be in the east
coat.

Congratulations!
