Celebrating Dependents Day

[Vincentc]

Our boat trip was the day after Independence Day. A excellent time was had on the boat and on the island. Family and friends covering 3 generations and the focus was upon those still dependent. The Hatteras provided the place for us to get together and various additions to the boat added to its usefulness.

aft deck seating and ice chest/table, acrylic enclosure




radar mast/flag pole 4' swim platform



the look of our grandson makes hauling pool floats worthwhile

In reading the title, I thought this was going to be a clever play on words with a political twist, but I like your take better. Glad you guys had a good time. Great photos of a great looking family.

was your F/B ladder that configuration originally ?

 

[Vincentc]

Thanks Randy.

Dennis, you are correct. I built the wooden ladder right after the swim platform.

 

[Vincentc]

Dennis, I just realized you asked about the FB ladder. As far as I know that is original. That I how it was when I bought the the boat in 08. It looks original and there is no evidence of modification.

What great pictures!

Looks like a lot of fun, and quite a few young future boaters there. Thanks for sharing.
