[Hal Forsen]

SWMBO and I spent the morning at Kohler Kraft on Shelter Island in SD for their 15th Annual WB fest. I'll post a few pics now and some more later.

That is just about 5 blocks from this tenement and I have yet in 15 years to go to that show.

Don't ask why, just haven't sigh.

[Hal Forsen]

Doc, I thought about you today while I was there.
They said the city has Ok'd Kohler going ahead with a complete renovation of their docks and expansion of the shop.
We had fun.

Dennis Connor spent a million bucks restoring this sleek beauty.

'the Dennis' had a bit of an accident with that lovely thing not too long ago.
Lost some of the rigging to a collision, not his fault.
Nice to see it has been well repaired.
Fellow in the tenement works for DC but is pretty close mouthed about what goes on.
Only time I get some 'inny' type of news is when DC picks him up and I happen to be outside and DC will spot me and chat for a moment.

[Hal Forsen]

Yeah; I was kinda wondering what he was up to these days but that whole scene is well outside my scope.
I like well kept work boats and such.
Maybe for a lark you should walk the 5 blocks next year. ;)

Nice pics. Thanks Hal.

[Garrett Lowell]

That boat the Dennis Connor restored is the subject of a nice story in 185. Thanks for the pics.

[Kim Whitmyre]

I'll remember that for next year! Me and the SO drove down to Coronado, just a ways south of the Naval Amphibious Base, to visit her sister and ex-husband (amicably so). We went for a short sail up to where you make a left turn to hit the Big Water :D Very pleasant. Does get a little busy up there, what with sailboats, ferries, SEAL teams, and guided missile frigates ;)

great pictures of the show. I am curious about those two launches with aft cabin in the 5th picture down from the top. Handsome craft...anyone know anything about them?

Very cool boats at the show!

[Chris Boers]

The launches look like the Zimmer utility launch (plans from WB)

They are the Zimmer design. The one on the right was just launched last month.
