Congrats!!!

As a father of 2 myself (girl and boy), I can understand... Life is short, and when you are blessed, make the most of it.

Congrats...you'll find that it's amazing how one day they are just an infant and then the next day they're repeating your swear words after you got stung by a bristle worm and forgot they were in the room with you. lol.

Fatherhood is awesome...have fun!

Congrats Ian!! I was also wondering why the sudden sale of the business. I hope the new owner(s?) can continue the business in style.

Yeah,

Priorities change I guess, I loved the business but it did take up a lot of my time, profits were also very modest to say the least with the challenges of not having a brick and mortar location. I also got a little sick of the self proclaimed "Coral Police" numb-nuts.

I am already loving fatherhood and I am sure there are many milestones to come! The new owners of Oceanic Corals will still provide great service and WILL still provide the rare hard to acquire pieces that everyone loves.

On a side note:

I am not out of the game just yet....... I have a few plans floating around and may bring them to fruition as soon as I am settle into this new adventure with my new daughter.

Someone is going to have to make up for the loss of a vendor in the valley!
