Steve turned off the tractor for an afternoon to talk about building the very first pair of Kindred skis. Steve is a skilled storyteller. He seems to know exactly when to pause, when to exaggerate, and exactly when to tell a joke. This ability to draw people in and make them laugh is especially useful in the hospitality industry. You see, Steve and his wife Carolyn run Two Eagles Lodge Bed and Breakfast just South of us in Union Bay. Like many home-based-businesses owners, this couple does it all. Carolyn masterfully orchestrates the business and is logistics manager of the steady rotation of guests while Steve is maintenance man and groundskeeper. When it comes to guest experiences this is where Steve’s hospitable nature and gift for storytelling shines. Who doesn’t want a host who keeps the mood light, and primes you for making memories by recalling his own adventures? If you need more proof of what us locals already know: that you’d be wise to stay at Two Eagles (once things get back to normal...) check out the miles-long list of accolades on their website. From fresh eggs at breakfast, to sharing local’s knowledge about places to explore, to evenings spent on the ocean-view porch around a crackling fire punctuated by Steve’s stories - these guys make their guests feel truly at home, and have awards to prove it. We’re really thankful for the support Steve has shown our business, from commissioning that first pair of skis to volunteering his time and equipment to help us move our workshop twice over the past 10 years! We're fortunate to have him skiing around on his Kindreds knowing he tells their story - with grinning enthusiasm - to anyone who asks.

Transforming a classic yacht is no easy feat, but the seamless blend of old and new in the forward quarters and galley is nothing short of incredible. Gone is the clunky full wall, replaced by a beautifully designed open space, featuring exquisite custom woodwork and stunning glass panels. The color palette harmonizes perfectly, showcasing the iconic Chris Craft Red stain. Experience how every detail has been thoughtfully crafted to maintain the classic essence while enhancing functionality. This journey of restoration not only pays homage to the yacht's heritage but elevates it to an entirely new level of elegance. #ClassicYacht #RestorationJourney #InteriorDesign #YachtLife #Woodwork #ChrisCraft #MarineDesign #SeamlessTransformation #shorts
