Wow!
As a kid I lived in MS for awhile and the only Gulfport I knew was in MS. You're just up the street figuratively speaking. I was just up there and ordered new swaged bridles from Bluewater. I make my own nicopress but don't like them for standing rigging. I'm in Tampa at least 3-4 times a month and will be there a lot now that AAU basketball season is getting underway. I will be there every other Sunday for the next six weeks for games.
I'll try and make one of the races there. Saturdays and Sundays ware a bit crazy here with basketball games (son 12) and volleyball games (daughter 13).
