Elise getting ready for the Nationals

Some last minute scramble as we are getting ready for the Nationals. The delivery crew for Thursday had some last minute changes that made it hard for them to do the delivery and offload Drakes Bay material from the boat.

So big thank you for the people stepping in

  • Suzanne, Serge and Peggy for putting Elise in the water
