(+1) ???

[jcollins]

I've had a few emails asking what the hell does (+1) mean?

Our rendezvous coordinator Dick Radlinkski (richard) recently traded his TE for a beautiful American Tug. It made a great cocktail meeting place at the rendezvous. So Dick will become "owner emeritus". Dick will be joining the American Tug owners group but promises to stop in AOG once in awhile. Dick and Phyllis are gracious hosts and great friends. You are always invited to any gathering we have on the Chesapeake.

Thanks again Dick!

I thought the +1 represented AOG getting a point for a successful Rendezvous. I certainly noticed "Wye Tug" in the pictures, a real beauty - nice move Dick, best of luck with her.

John, you are the Best!! You should be extremely proud of what you have accomplished with this site. I will always value your friendship and the many others we have made through AOG over the past few years.

And thanks Rob. Hope you guys have a great Rendezvous (based on the posts from last year, I am sure it will be a blast !!)

American Tugs are beautiful boats. We're a little partial to the Nordic Tugs here in the Northwest, but nonetheless, the American is on the short list for the "next" boat.
