Dan; wonderful story and parable. Thanks.

“Friendship” could have a subtitle: bravery, knowing your overall health challenges you faced during this long episode.

Sarah might call it obstinance

, I suppose.

Thanks again, Rollie

Love the story by and about my friend, Dan Gurney and his adventures with "Friendship", a perfect name for a boat by a man who's life ix all about friendship. Congrats, Dan, on your success and next tie down the sail.

Peace & Love to you and Sarah

Thank you, Dan. It's a warming start to 2026, a recognition of the magical parts of joining a small town where we are all interconnected somehow. I was appreciating your story, the truths and beauty of deep friendships, when my wife casually pointed out that you are the same Dan whose story I loved last year. And, we finished connecting the dots that you are the Dan married to the delightful Sarah that I'm just getting to know.
