Our first DeFever Cruisers Rendezvous
January 26-29, 2007

Palm Coast Florida

The Club at Hammock Beach

What a great resort and beach. Grand fireplace in the lobby. Meeting rooms that were well designed so that you couldn't hear the people in the room next to you.

The rooms were elegant and tastefully decorated. We had a huge balcony and even though the temperatures were in the low 30's and 40's. We did step out on it a few times.

Arthur DeFever in the engine room of "Silver Boots" a 2005 DeFever 49 CPMY.

Arthur autographed two of the brochures that feature our boat.

Spent 4 hours having cocktails and telling tails with Arthur at our table.
