John Henry is the name of our GH47 (Great Harbour 47’ boat). The boat was named after John Henry Thornton, Wink’s father, who passed away in 2003. We thought the name was perfect for the boat, as it conjures up images of a strong working boat, which is what the Great Harbour Hull design was based upon.

Hi W & W,
Your boat is a beautiful sight. I love it for you. Crab dinner? You got me wanting to go to Maryland. So I can't wait to see more pictures. Looks like you're living large. :-)
