Launching

Launching 

On July 10, we picked up Ruff and Copper and headed to Penetang. It was rainy and cold but we had a few jobs to do before launching later that afternoon. Brian touched up the bottom paint and caulked some of the deck hardware. Janice is big on not having any leaks. Brian washed the hull.

First time boat got wet this year. In the interest of safety Graeme hooked up 2 tow vehicles to ease our 31,000 pounds down the ramp. Feels good to finally have it in the water. Less than a month to our projected cast off date.

Due to the amount of work and coming and going on the boat it was in need of a good cleaning before we could load anything. We spent our first night on board. That means 4 of us in a double bed.
