OUR ANNUAL CANADA DAY FLOTILLA (CRUISE)

Well, we had pretty good participation in our Canada Day Flotilla.  It could have been better, but we will work on that.  We need more boats for next year, so, everyone work on your dock mates to get them excited and involved.  We can't have a great club if we don't get involved.  It is what WE make it. 
 
Evelyn and Paul Mearon and their Daughter Karen joined us on our boat for our Canada Day cruise this year.   
 
 
 
As we exited the harbour a number of boats were already out there, so we bobbed around snapping pictures of each other until the appointed time.  
 
 
Boyd and Gayle Halliwell of Solitude VI
 
 
Jeff and Les Arnason of Enlesun
 
 
Bob and Susan Inkster of Sommerset
 
 
 Art and Gaye Wilkes of Misprint    
Derek Debets and Guest on Double D  
 
 

Then we fell into line and headed for the water tower. 
 

 
 
 
 
From there we made a slow pass along the beach.  Flags flying and horns blaring.
 
 
Once back at the harbour enterance we dispersed to our personal cruising plans.
 
Our personal plans included a cruise to Gimli harbour with our guests.  But, that's another Blog, for another day. 
 
I am including all the pictures we took, but I'm hoping someone will supply me with a picture that includes my boat.  (Just saying)
 
 
HAPPY CANADA DAY EVERYONE
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

MORE DECORATING AND CELEBRATING


More boats are getting their Canada on. 
 
 
 
 
 
And the celebrating continued with fireworks on Sunday night.   

I apologize in advance for the poor picture quality as I have no expertise in taking these kind of photos.  I can assure you that the fireworks display was much better than my photos would indicate. 



A special "Thank You" goes out to Scott and Jan of "Whiskey Jack",  for not only supplying all those wonderful fireworks, but for sacrificing themselves to the hoards of mosquitoes that came out for the show.       



And the Celebrating continues today with our Canada Day Boat Parade.  We hope to see a lot of boats out, and taking part. 



HAPPY CANADA DAY!!
