Those of you who know me know that I have been looking for a diesel for IVY for about two years know. several have fallen through, but I just sent the last check for a Volvo Penta MD11C.
SO this summer, there will be no excuses for being late while cruising like "it took me 3 days to cover 15 miles" or that "The wind wasn't blowing so I got stuck in st Michaels for an extra 4 days" or, my bosses favorite, "I was heading home and two tropical storms came by and I was stuck in Baltimore for an extra 3 days".
