I'm often the skipper of the Sophie C and I will be happy to keep an eye out and honk a hello to your grandson. Years ago the Sophie C had a mail stop on Mark Island, and honked every time to announce the approach.
We live next door to the former mail dock and remember the mail boat coming in when the former owner lived there full time. I know my grandson would be thrilled by those greetings...thanks!
