May 9 we held a christening ceremony with our friends and neighbors Jack and Greer Gardner. The boat was sitting in our driveway in preparation of Lyn's departure to Alton, Missouri on Saturday, May 15. The fact that we were on dry land didn't impact the sharing of "bubbly" and good cheer!

The maiden voyage of "Ranch House" was on March 13 at Lake Powell, Utah. We were assisted by Joe Dervey from Hallberg Marine who, with two friends, had driven the boat to Powell from Wyoming, Minnesota.
