I have been boating since I was a child on my Uncle's boat. I bought my first boat in 1993 called the "Spoiled Rotten" a 24 foot deep V Cuddy Cabin. I spent as much time out on her as I could. Before I even Brought her home I took both the US Power Squadrons & USCG safety classes, as well as, further my education in seamanship, navigation, charts via Power Squadrons. I sold her in 1999 and saved up for Papa's Paradise which I finally purchased in 2011. I have taken her across the lake to Michigan, up to Milwaukee, and everywhere in between. I am well versed in all aspects of boating and safety procedures.
