WE ARE LAUNCHED

We got all ready to launch yesterday, but then we were cancelled. 

But we got there nice and early this morning and were soon enough backing on down the ramp. 

I've never been on Thunderbird when she has been launched.  That has always been Dan's duty, but this time he needed me as a deck hand to do lines when we came into the dock, and the only way to do that was to be on board when she launched.  

 Although the current in the river is still running very fast, we managed to get Thunderbird launched.  Now all I have to do is get a few groceries, stock the bar and we will be ready to cruise north. 

 Well, here we sit at the dock and ready to roll in the morning, but it turns out Bill wasn't able to solve the transmission problem he had yesterday, so he will not be travelling with us.   

 

IT WILL BE PARTY TIME FOR ME WHEN WE GET THERE
