LAUNCH DAY 2016



We went out to the hangar on Thursday evening to be sure we were ready to launch when the launch crew came to get us.  


Then suddenly, the hangar doors opened up.  


They lined up the trailer.  



Backed it on under "The Bird"  



And just as suddenly away it went on the way to the harbour.  
 


We got to the harbour first and awaited the boats arrival.   And there she is.  


 
And just as suddenly she was launched.  Dan started her up to let the engine run, as we awaited Kam's launch.  



Once Kam got a chance to get his engines warmed up, we ventured out of the harbour and waited for him there.  






Kam shared this shot of us, that he took while we were on escort duty.  




Kam had no problems and it was a very uneventful cruise and before we knew it, we were entering our home sweet home port.    



WE ARE HOME FOR THE SUMMER
