Mark's Story

I always wanted to be a pilot when I grew up. My family and friends thought that was a dangerous idea. As it turns out, they were wrong and proud of me when I earned my wings. Best way to relax is to listen to music or play one of my guitars or go fly fishing on the Snake River in Idaho for cutthroat trout. There's another place I love to go and relax and that's Tilloo Cay in the Abaco Sound of the Bahamas. There's nobody to be seen all day and to drop anchor and skinny dip snorkel is a blast.
