OUR LAUNCH IS PLANNED FOR FRIDAY MORNING

We are launching early Friday morning along with Kam Lo.  Because it has to be really early, we will go out to Gimli Thursday evening and stay on board in the hangar one more night.  


Apparently it has to be early, due to traffic concerns in the harbour area. Wind Finder says there is going to be a little squall go through the South Basin between 4:00am and 7:00am.  So, that should be subsiding by the time we get down to the harbour.  


Hopefully, Kam is going to launch "Lo Tide" first so that he can fuss with his new engine and make sure it is running to his satisfaction, while the  launch crew take the trailer back to the hangar and get "Thunderbird" and bring her down to the harbour. 


 Once we splash, Kam should have "Lo Tide" ready to cast off and it will be Bon Vouyage and goodbye to Gimli Harbour and a pleasant cruise south to  BCYC.  (Boundary Creek Yacht Club)
