Growing up so near the water, I guess that I shouldn’t have been surprised at how addicted I had become to the smell of the ocean breeze and the sound of the waves lapping the shoreline. I tried going off to the city after college, but my heart brought me back to the shore. So, here I am, spending my days working on things like Mercruiser Exhaust Manifolds, and appreciating the simple but predictable life I now have. It’s a good thing that I found a woman who was willing to share this with me. We have a good life here, and I wouldn’t change it for the world.
