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.

My Daughter, who is now 11, loves the Sophie C, although never being on it, for some reason she latched on to it at a very young age and looks for it any time we are out in the lake, we are in Paugus Bay so we do not get to see her come by. She always makes sure to see the stern before claiming which boat it is, and also to point it out to us and hopefully our courses pass so she can wave to it
