8/7/15 Buffalo Launch Club-Friday



Our bimini, ordered from a west coast canvas company, was to have been trucked inside a Nordic tug being shipped to Jay Kraft in Traverse City, MI.  Scheduled delivery was the second week of July.  The shipment was delayed four weeks so instead of waiting for it, we kept moving.  In Erie, PA, we were notified that it was on its way.  (However the trucker was arrested in the upper Peninsula of Michigan during a routine stop in which he had an illegal weapon).  Another trucker was flown from the state of Washington to complete the delivery.) Since we were in Buffalo, Ron decided to rent a truck and drive the 900 miles round trip to pick up the bimini.  He left at 10am and was back by 3am—but very tired. 

While he was gone I re-oiled all of the teak.  The power to the boat went off mid-day and I got help from Bill & Ann on Against All Odds. 
Bill and Ann took me to the Raftapaloosa Party at Finch House and bought my drinks.  They introduced me to many nice club members.  This is a very nice club.
