Christmas, 1998:
Certificate signed by the Governor!
Three of my neighboors: Bob Labrie, John Adams, and Steve Schulten, got together and had a certificate made up nominating me official Pomeroy Cove Harbormaster! They even had the Governor of New Hampshire sign it! What a really cool thing for them to do!

Memorial Day weekend, 1999:
The launching of my 1957 15' Lone Star 20hp Mariner: Pride 'n Joy!
|
|
Finally, I'm done with all the scraping, sanding, and painting. Pride 'n Joy is ready!
|
Steve Schulten artfully backs his truck up to the Hilton Park boat launch...
|
|
"Just about deep enough!" I call out as dad gets ready to push the boat off the trailer...
|
"She's clear!"
Now... where's mom?
|
|
It's all over now except the fun! We're off!!!

Dad and I pulling up to the dock.

Wellllll.... sometimes there are problems. Towing the Pride 'n Joy across Pomeroy Cove to my friend Steve's for engine work.
|
In fact, some problems are bigger than others: 10/09/99 a seam let go on the Pride 'n Joy and down she went.
