Hate to hear that all these good people are going under the doctors knife. Hope the operation turns out well for you Richard.
They did a good job on Cane Pole. He gets around reak good.
It was recommend to me to get one of those power anchor things that lets the machines pull up the anchor rope. Saves a lot of struggling I am told.
CP I hope you get your pontoon boat repaired and have a new anchor put on soon.
