 the Welcoming Committee at work .. |
 W's arrive: Tom Smith, Tom Reed, Bob Emans .. |
 Bill Guinter, Mike Anspach and Bob Emans with Bob's W2389, CORINTHIAN .. |
 Just back from cruisng W's in Canada and England: Margie Cervenik & Dick Harrington .. |
 the locals showed us how to launch - note modest freighter going by in background .. |
 and now Peter and Alex are ready to try the hoist with a quickly made sling .. |
 By gar! It works! .. |
 others shared the Force 5s' floating ramp, but... ... |
 ... all this was too pedestrian for Uncle Al and Wayfarer Man. Why not launch right in front here? Well... it looked closer to the water last night. The water level must have gone down overnight! But sanity prevailed in the end. .. |

 Frank and Al followed the Goldis' lead and launched with the Force 5s. Even this took some doing and good winch control from the trailer. We decided to go across the road to haul out when the time came on Sunday. .. |
