Surprise Time!  As Three Sons was maneuvering the fairways of Pierce City Marina to find our slip, Tracy saw a woman standing on the bow of a boat enthusiastically waving.  Looking again, she whispered into the marriage savers, who is that?  And then it hit her &#8211; Theresa was standing on Ship Faced!  Screaming could be heard across the state of FL.   <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>We were reunited with our 4 buddy boats and a night on the town followed.   A visit to a brewery, filled with shenanigans but no arrest, started the evening and it ending with drinks on Three Sons.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Very few times in life are you truly surprised and emotional touched!  I was beyond shocked to see them still in Florida.  They stayed to see us one last time and to say the least, our hearts were full.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/threesons.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_1735-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9353\" srcset=\"https:\/\/threesons.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_1735-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/threesons.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_1735-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/threesons.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_1735-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/threesons.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_1735.jpg 1350w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"781\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/threesons.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/3636608445194000989-781x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9354\" srcset=\"https:\/\/threesons.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/3636608445194000989-781x1024.jpg 781w, https:\/\/threesons.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/3636608445194000989-229x300.jpg 229w, https:\/\/threesons.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/3636608445194000989-768x1008.jpg 768w, https:\/\/threesons.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/3636608445194000989-1171x1536.jpg 1171w, https:\/\/threesons.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/3636608445194000989.jpg 1561w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 781px) 100vw, 781px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/threesons.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/20250415_212141-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9355\" srcset=\"https:\/\/threesons.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/20250415_212141-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/threesons.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/20250415_212141-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/threesons.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/20250415_212141-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/threesons.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/20250415_212141-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/threesons.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/20250415_212141-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Strong Winds and Currents &#8211; The Not So Good<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The next morning we said &#8220;see ya later&#8217; to Ship Faced!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>We had intended to only stay one day in Ft.
