.... and floating nicely secured to her mooring. Launched with a 34 ton crane
at 1010hrs. Engine started at first push of the button. [ the mast not
stepped at the time]. All boats stepping masts were done at the same time
and I organized all the other owners to work as a team to step and secure
with the crane working to hoist. Lots of newbies this year... lots of
questions.... lots of learning.

It was cool in the morning but warmed up to 30c by 1300hrs. One of the
hottest days this year.
Nothing feels nicer than when your sailboat is finally launched.
Unfortunately.... I have to leave for work today. Cape Breton Highlands
National Park at a work site along the edge of a 200 ft sheer slate cliff
overlooking the ocean. Really nice eye candy...... I'll be back next
weekend for a sail.

Heh... not all of us are Ebay Sales Moguls that can afford to sail every
day! ;-D
