November 15th, 2003 at Briscoe. 

The forecast was for cold weather but the day turned out warm and beautiful. Steady breezes for the sailboats. A surprise birthday party for Ken. Lots of geese and ducks were around. The park would be pleased that we left the wildlife alone like we are supposed to.  

Click all photos to enlarge. "Back" to return.

Apparently geese don't just fly in formation.  I've never seen a Woodie in the wild. Much less, one this friendly! Cute duck! Great weather. A few more sailboats than ususual.

Brought back my Midwest steam launch. If you look close, you can almost see a wake. Need more horsepower. Calm seas for Ken's tug.  Speaking of ken, his family snuck in a birthday cake. They really pulled off a great surprise. They said he was 75. No way...

The culprits. I wonder what other secrets they keep from him. Note the shirt.  Just a relaxing photo. "Catalog Day" worked out well. Lots of new ways to spend money were discovered.

The calm waters attracted the two blond dolls, no... really..., they are dolls, to go for a spin.  Note the excitement in Paul's face, looking toward the water, ready to take his Sea Dagger out for an awesome run.  Oh yeah, speaking of Paul, this is another view of his boat a short time later. Back to the pits!
