Two Good Mates Find each other out at sea

Carla has been my friend since before I was born, and Richard came on to the scene about a year ago for me (longer for Carla). They are two awesome people, and the little first mate loves them both.
I am really lucky to have both of them in my life.
Carla is a fantastic friend who has taught me a lot about how you should care about people, and I am so proud of her for everything that she has accompished over the past few months (i.e relationships, work, etc). I look forward to knowing the both of them for many years to come. I love visits with them and the topics we end up discussing. Good friends are hard to find, and I'm happy that they found each other, and that I get to come along for the ride.
