July 2003 Meeting Photos:

July 19 was a nice sunny day for a meeting. Light breezes. Not to hot for a July. Just enough clouds to keep the temperature down. Lots of members and visitors attending. Members are getting hungry. Two boxes of doughnuts and a cake were on hand.

Part of the group. I need a wide-angle lens to get everyone! The club-debut of the Titanic. Seven feet, two inches of foam and paint. Paul's new MicroStorm Hovercraft. Fascinating design. Motor blew a terminal before we could have much fun with it. Repairs underway.

Lots of new projects to discuss. Doug de-watering a boat. Some took the "boat in a box" idea a little too far...

Matt's runabout is back! That little lithium battery holds 1,100 milli-amp-hours. And it flew around the lake for 20 minutes. Matt's cutter yielding right-of-way to the larger boat...

A little water skiing. I brought the Vac-U-Cam back for more surface photos. The Lady Frances is back, with a new sound system.

Paul's ? Victoria. I forgot to ask! Casey's Rescue Boat in the background. Too close. Nice woodwork Dave! Boat's-eye-view of the club.

Nice profile of Tonya's Tug. Hard a-port! Got another good one of Matt's Cutter.

July 12 was our annual C.U.R.E. Picnic Float. This was not a normal meeting. This was a show for the children. Volunteers brought boats to display and boats for our guests to play with.

Maiden voyage of Phil's 7 foot Titanic, an iceberg, and Matt's Island with lighthouse. The white tent is our new HQ. Matt performing CPR on this tug after being broad sided by Ray's larger tug. The patient was back in the water an hour later.

An average of 10 to 12 boats were in the water all day. We even let a few guests operate the Titanic. They kept missing the iceberg! Great weather and lots of guests came and went during the day.

I can't wait to see what we come up with for next year. Later in the day, "Hugs" the clown stopped by and hugged everyone. Great lunch catered by Folks restaurants.
