Touching Water

[kydocfrog]

Light of Day, my current restore and refit project, touched water for the first time under her new name Sunday at Kentucky's Green River Lake. She carries a silver Liberty quarter under her mast step to honor her former name, Liberty and ward off ill fortune.

By the time everything got straight, the wind had died, so we mainly drifted. But everything eventually fit, nothing fell off, and the water all stayed on the outside.  ;D

The christening picture clearly shows two old guys pouring wine on a boat. I'm on the left. That's Barnacle Bill on the right.

KDF Glad to see you back in the water again, even in plastic. I have also bought a plastic boat this summer,kept the P/C couldn't give her up. Y'all don't look like two old men to me, just two nice young men about my age. Every thing depends on where your looking from. Bud ;D

It looks like you two had fun despite the lack of wind.  I hope you tasted the wine too.  A boat should never drink alone. ;D

Indeed we did.

Keeping the Weekender wasn't really an option, as much fun as I had building her, and refitting Light of Day has certainly had its own challenges. I'm having a lot of fun with woodwork in the interior where there is a bit more room to explore.
