47' Self-Righting Motor Life Boat there in the boathouse. |
I was on a panel that helped in the development of these small boats. Prior to te 47' Boats, the standard was the 44 footers. And before that the old 36 foot motor life boats. |

Jon's long board on Angie's car |
There was a Whale spouting right in front of the boat out there. Thought I had a picture of the spout, but missed it. |
Jon is under there somewhere :-) |
Most of the surfers use the more modern short boards. Jon uses a classic long board |
We're pretty proud of this boy. At 13, he is becoming well known on the West Coast. |
