A BUSY LONG WEEKEND

We had a great long weekend.  We got out to Gimli nice and early, picked up some groceries and got straight to work on our projects.  Our son, Ken came out to help me with the back rest I am working on.  He cut all the lumber for me when we stopped at Jack's wood shop. 

 
Then I got busy with the foam and fabric once we were settled in at the hangar.    
 


Then suddenly it was happy hour and we hurried off to Gimli Harbour, as it was Casey and Sharon's "Splash Day" today and we were invited for drinks to celebrate.  When we arrived there was a real party going on. 

 Gord & Ellie (The Harbour Master & Harbour Mistress) were in attendance, as were Art Wilkes and Keith Pierce, both also celebrating the fact that their "Splash", is approaching tomorrow. 

 



Happy Boating guys. 




So, then it was back to the hangar and back to work. 

The hangar was full of boaters prepping their boats for their launch dates. 

Bob Inkster was fussing with his new Canvas.  "Very nice Bob". 












Dan kept himself busy with his sanding and painting, while Ken helped me with the painting and staining of the woodwork for my back rest. 






It all came together beautifully.  I am very pleased with the results. 

 

So, now we are down to the short list, mostly paint, paint, paint.  We have to rig the boat out with lines and fenders, store the tools etc. and get ready for launch, so, we should be ready to splash by June 1st.  Hopefully, the lake will be ready for us by then as well. 

 

 

 

THE LIST IS REALLY SHORT NOW
