Last week, Cary and I spent two wonderful days in St. Pete, guests of Monterey Boats in Williston. We were joined by Misti Gurtin, owner of the Coastal Angler TREASURE COAST market and Barbara Ryan, owner of the Coastal Angler PALM BEACH COUNTY market. We stayed at the beautiful, Renaissance Vinoy, on the bay. Monterey introduced us to their four new Blackfin fishing boats. About a hundred people, including Cary, were treated to a test drive. They plan to be in production by the fall. Look for updates, in the very near future.
