Launch day dawned cloudy but that made no difference to our spirits. Ben and John loaded Sea Nut into the bed of the pick-up and John made some support pieces so she would sit nicely while overturned on the float.
The christening was done with water bottles punctured on a nail driven into a piece of oak and clamped onto the bow transom.
Here she is waiting to see if she was seaworthy. Not a drop of water came in through any seam. So she was approved for sea trials.
Everyone got a chance to try her out and we were all amazed by how well she handled and how easy she was to row. Even the little girls had a great time and took several turns with her.
She finally was hauled up and put to rest on her new supports. Next weekend, hopefully Whitecap will follow Sea Nut into the New Meadows for the summer.
