Well the day came, May 23rd 2012. The Launching of the MY Blue Willow, owned by Mark and Vicki Hill.
The launch took place at the Anchor In in Cheboygan, Michigan. I have not been around these type of launchings, to really understand them, but what a thrill. I was excited for my launch, but to see the process, by some talented workers, was even better. The photo above, was the lifting of the vessel from its winter blocks and storage area. the trailer is hydraulically operated for lifting.
There was a transfer from the trailer to the boat lift crane, then the crane lowered BW into the water.
Here she is as she just touches the waters of Cheboygan River.
And there she sits, waiting to visit various ports in northern Michigan, in 2012. It is nice to see your home and boat in the same picture. (that is a joke).
There we are, Daisy, Vicki, and me. Working but wanting to go play.
Awesome !!! Can't wait to get aboard and ch her out !!!
