This group is about single boat and the restoration of a 103 foot boat / yacht! Now you may have the chance to experience the beauty of a 103 foot boat / yacht in Nashville TN, We are a informal social & networking group sharing experiences with new and old friends, spending time on a  103' boat / yacht called the Lost Pearl. We enjoy great foods, drinks and music with a bit cultured people who enjoy some of the same or just need something new. This group is both singles and couples.  If you are looking for a unique, and magical day or evening on the water, then you may find it here.  I just love getting out on the water meeting new people.
