Launch Day (23June 2004)

   

The crane gently takes the strain and eases her up off the blocks.
Swinging round just clear of the floor, as the Lees' workmen control the ropes.
The stern swings out over the canal.
Almost there.
Perfectly aligned ready for lowering.
Coming down towards the water.
Nearly there, as the LPF suddenly sees more boats pass in a 10 minute interval than it has in the past 3 weeks!
Into the water! Well, there would have been a picture here, but at the critical moment, somebody shouted that I should come round to the back of the boat and sail her out of the cradle, and I've been waiting a long time to take the controls, so no picture.
