(0:48) This week we come to the end of another year. It's been a year of many changes for us, both professionally and personally. We finally cut the last of our land ties by selling our house in Maine. We're now living onboard, full time. We experienced phenomenal growth with ActiveCaptain on all fronts. We're seeing our partner marinas increasing their business as we've helped them bring in more boaters.(0:40) I like to pause this time of year to look back at accomplishments, setbacks, joys, and disappointments. What we experience ourselves is where many of my Minutes come from.
