New Members Brian and Jen Toner

We are Brian and Jen Toner. We own Shanti, a GB 46 Classic. Shanti is an ancient Sandskrit word for "peace and tranquility."

We live in Garnet Valley, PA, a suburb of Philadelphia, but keep our boat at Great Oak Landing, Fairlee Creek.

We have been boating and a boat-owning for the last 15 years. We purchased Shanti last March somewhat unexpectedly as "a deal we couldn't pass up" came along.

Our favorite places to boat are the Chesapeake Bay, especially Annapolis and St. Michaels, and New England, especially Sag Harbor and Newport.

Professionally, Brian owns a special event production company and Jennifer is a high school Biology Teacher.

We are probably not your typical Grand Banks owners as we are under 40 and have a 5 year old but enjoy the trawler lifestyle and the adventures that we take.

We are excited to meet the group.

The Chesapeake Bay Grand Banks Owners' Association is a privately run club.
