Don's third boat

Don is basically Mr. Philanthropic over here. Oh, I'm here with Don and Cathy Cooper, from Portland Oregon. We've known them for over ten years.
They have been coming here for about 10 years and the first time they came, they took interest in a guy that was sort of a bookie - you'd tell him what activities you wanted to do and he would arrange it. Don decided that he would set this guy up with enough money to operate his own boat, transporting people between islands and doing scuba trips etc. He has done well, his family's standard of living increased. Last year in a huge Typhoon (F...maybe Frances) his boat got smashed to bits and pieces. So, Don spent about $3,000 and got this boat up and going. Last night was the 'boat launch.' It was supposed to be ready at 4 pm so we went in our swim suits, no mosquito repellent. Well, island time....around 630 about 20 people got the boat into the water then a big dinner after. We politely declined and went to dinner at our hotel then slept very well.
