Summer is leaving and my thoughts always go to this boat.

My Dad bought this plywood Sande Ace in 1959 when I was 15. My friends were really jealous. It's in near perfect condition today. I took the now Mrs Wally for a ride when we were 16.

The 2nd pic shows us in 2024 on Washington's lower Hood Canal. I have 7 of those white Mercs to make sure I always have one running. Thanks for putting up with my nostalgia.
