Fixing the Launch
February 27th, 2009
The launch is broken, and Ryan our Boatswain is out of town. In an effort to restore it for tomorrow’s fun race, Ryan called from Washington DC (from a bar) to talk me through the diagnosis and possible repair. Unfortunately it needs a part that is on back-order so it won’t be ready for the race. But it was fun anyway. Here’s pics. While we were down there, Jessica noticed the motor in the water and demonstrated perfect technique of lifting it out! Thanks Ryan! Thanks Jess! Woooooo! See you all at the banquet!
