Finally, here are photos from the Microship launch we participated in last Wednesday. This is a project of Steven Roberts, and you can read more about him and his projects at microship.com
 |
| We were running late, so we missed the very beginning of this journey. But we intercepted the parade near Market Place. Even though it was mid-week, I think it was very wise to avoid Spring Street! |
 |
| Curiosity was generated the whole way! This tough guy had his Harley jacket on. |
 |
| Steve walked backwards the whole way, steering with the handle, and applying brakes with muscle. |
 |
| Down the hill and past the Hungry Clam, we can see the water now! |
 |
| Down the main dock and to the crane! |
 |
| 'Wings' folded down, wheels retracted, sling and guidelines attached.... |
 |
| ... and UP she goes! |
 |
| Al is ready to intercept. |
 |
| She floats! |
 |
| And Al takes her away to a low dock where the mast can be stepped. |
 |
| Iwo Jima was mentioned during this process |
 |
| Look at that grin! |
 |
| She REALLY looks like a microship next to Elwha. |
 |
| Around the breakwater |
 |
| And to her new home! |
