On Raystown’s shimmering blue, where the hills of Huntingdon cradle the sky, we ride the waves with dreams in our hearts, Eli’s Navy, Sir Alex, and the merry crew, brotherhood born on Pee Wee Island, where water whispers secrets to the trees.

Every year, like the tide’s faithful return, we gather, men bound by laughter and tales, a houseboat our vessel through the mirrored expanse, where time softens under the sun’s embrace, and each birthday a marker in our shared odyssey, carved in moments that echo with joy.

On Pee Wee Island, the world breathes different, the sky a blanket, the trees our silent sentinels, we toast to adventures past and those yet to come, each ripple a testament to our journey, where the lake’s horizon meets the horizon of our souls, and the stars at night hold our whispered dreams.

Sir Alex leads with a heart as vast as the lake, Eli’s Navy, his loyal, ragtag band, each man a story, a note in our symphony, the houseboat rocking with our laughter and song, as the gentle waters of Raystown hold us, cradling our memories in their timeless flow. In the rolling hills, where shadows dance on green, we find our sanctuary, our fleeting forever, brotherhood forged in the embrace of nature, where the spirit of Pee Wee Island breathes with us, and every year we return, seekers of the same magic, the eternal bond of men, of friends, of dreamers on a lake.
