Launch Day

The break in the rain came and we were ready, it was sunny and cool – a great day to launch a boat. 
Thanks to everyone who helped us and were so wonderful today (and you know who you are). 
The boat that looked so big in the yard looked monstrous on the fork lift and on the trailer, seemed to shrink once we got on the river. 
We had our moments where we held our breath, but all in all the entire process went as smooth as could be expected. Once the boat was on the trailer, we went over the bridge to the other side of the Petaluma River to the launch ramp. 
Delphie started right up and the engine was amazingly quiet. We motored into the slip. What a relief to be back in the water.
