The Ladies who gather each year on the bank watched as the boats came in and cheered when boats came in.
In the evening the batteau Clifton Lee was worked on due to some problem leaks. The boat was turned over beside the boat ramp with two large barrels inside. The ropes were placed around the boat and attached to a truck. Batteauists got beside the boat and helped push it down and bail water into the boat and then the truck pulled it on over. Then a leaf blower was used to blow air into the inside of the upside down boat in the water and it was amazing to see the mist spew out of the places that needed to be fixed. Oakum was packed into the problem areas and the boat was later turned over and was doing great today.
Wednesday morning the sun came up over the batteau Queen Anne and later some fog and it was absolutely beautiful.
