One more Basler Boy for the world. Michelle and I have been expecting our sixth for some time. If any of you saw us (her) in Tavares, you'd have noted that there was something cookin'.

Lucas Smith Basler was born Sunday May 31st. 8 lbs 8 ozs. Everyone is in great health.

Lucas is looking forward to holding sandpaper in his hands.

Congrats! What a cutie... though you better get a few more boats in your inventory to split evenly between the 6 of them - after all, you can't show favoritism! :)

Congrats to you Bill(although you didn't do that much)(LOL) and to the rest of the family with your new addition. Does that mean less room for boats or just more help. Now if he only could see the varnish but that will come with time and I'm sure his siblings will make sure he does his part.
Thanks,

Thanks all. I like the comments about more, and larger boats. I will pass those suggestions on to my wife.
