The first two inflatable boats I co-owned in 1976 |

We carried the inflatable canoes on the bus to Ponggol, inflated them and paddled to Coney Island |

The inflatables doubled as seats and storage |

Paddling out towards the anchored ships off East Coast Park |
These must have been the very few photographs that my buddies saved over the years. Back then cameras were rare and it costs quite a bit to have the negatives developed into photos.
Those fun filled days boating off the East Coast and Coney Island will always be my most cherished memories. I'm glad for those adventures. They represented the real me. Care-free, fun loving, adventurous and daring.
I must get back to those days of Innocent living soon. Today at 59 yrs old, my thoughts are filled with a desire to live unrestricted without worry, free from the tolls of responsibilities of being husband, father and provider. It's time to let my adult kids live their own lives, whatever way they choose.
Life goes on, no matter what, so I too must live my life to the fullest it will allow me and not miss what it has to offer. The world is my oyster.
