The CT Wagners were proud to be the first guest aboard, followed shortly by the Buckleys of JAX. We toasted to the success of the voyage, the health of the captain and crew, and the many adventures that lay ahead while recognizing the optimism and deferred gratification that underlie the realization of Denny’s ambition to complete the Great Loop. We are thrilled that he equally embarked on the adventure of a second marriage which is destined to sustain him in other ways long into the future. We regret that in the excitement of a grand toast with a glass of Pappys we neglected to photograph the first party on the flybridge, but its not the first time a fine bourbon has made us forgetful!
