As of 10:00am this morning, North Star has a <i>wetted surface!</i> <img src=icon_smile_cool.gif border=0 align=middle>

Today, I was splashed and then motored the 4 miles to my marina in northwestern Lake Erie. The skies were overcast and dreary, winds 12-20mph with gusts to 25, rainy with scattered thunderstorms. Seas were white caps at 4 to 5ft of short duration.

All in all, a magnificent day!

Thanks Patrick,...and yes, they meant to do that to this ship. It, too, is being launched.
