First, this is just a test to see if everything works...
Second, Joe, thanks for posting the Art of Rafting, you saved me a lot of time. In fact, as Rommer (Hello Captain!), suggested, you could post it in the Ask the Captain section.... it is most likely of interest for a lot of people.
Third, I have been working on the sequel (I have 382 pics so far this year) but the sequel is the Art of Rafting with planes, as a friend of mine just bought one... (I will not go up until he has 500 or so hours)
eg:
I have been hiding so to speak in part at a friend's cottage who just built a new 45' dock complete with 30 AMP power and shore water. He doesn't have a pump out station tho....
His cottage is right next to the Big Chute and he even changed his home port to:
And for those who forgot what the Big Chute is, it's the marine railway. We went over following Gary to get some pics in our dinghy (the lock master actually called us on with our dinghy - but I declined - been there, done that but next time....will go under someone's bow just for the experience) and met lot's of nice American's in big trawler's doing the "Big Loop".
And just to complete this test, nothing like a shot of the "twins" ie: Martin's new boat and ours together. He now has a new stainless steel Bruce anchor (not shown) however, my Bruce (working anchor) is in the water on the right with the chain....doing it's job versus tucked under the bow with the Captain dusting and shining the nice stainless steel
Nice to be back.
