Thanks Bruce and all that sent good energy.
Dennis is planning to bring the van home to Vermont this Saturday. A few folks are gathering for the return.
Hopefully this cruise goes well but if not at least Dennis is there to get things squared away.
Be prepared, once this van is home I have a lot of pent up questions for this list and the wisdom here.
Fingers crossed.

With significant upgrades.
