It's been a bit quiet around here lately. I know I have been lurking for a while as I have been working on an acquisition which is now completed. Spent the last week making a round trip from Colorado to Vancouver Island to pick this beauty up. I'm very excited to finally have my own steamboat.

More details to come.....

Cheers

SWEET! I look forward to learning more.

It HAS been quiet on this discussion board. Maybe people out steaming?
It's raining here now, but I will try to get out one more time for new prop performance testing. Results will be posted here.

She's a beautiful launch. I can't wait to see more photos of her!

We've all been busy me thinks. South of the northwestern border there have been a few boat meets like the California Delta Meet, and others. I've been on a three+ week stint of all steam from working on a Liberty Ship, to the delta boat meet, to back on the liberty ship just barely getting her ready and USCG approval. Sliding in under the wire for fleet week. Literally, LAST minute.

Luckily had vacation the whole time so I was able to put in the work. I think I'll take a vacation from my vacation now.

That's my excuse! I've been at the meet in Eagle River, WI. I can highly recommend it. Next year it is scheduled to run September 9-14.

It was not easy to convince Allnutt. All his shop training had given him a profound prejudice against inexact work, experimental work, hit-or-miss work.

Thanks Wes

I understand the vacation from the vacation part. More pics to come. Not sure if I have time to get on the water before I need to winterize so they may be static pics for now.

My grandparents had a place in Rheinlander when I was a kid. It's lovely country, especially in the fall.

It's a bit far from your home port!

That's true, roughly $750 just in gasoline for the round trip (plus some side trips), it made for an expensive vacation, but it was a very good time. The people there, and the chain of lakes itself are both first rate!
