Mom readies the champagne and fellow river guide Meredith brought all the dory goodies... Tulips, welcome mat, bailing bucket, sponge, sweeper... so perfect.
Fellow river guide, Helmut brings the good vibes.
The cork is popped and the bow is christened.
May the Zizumara be blessed with endless snow melt waters and safe passage from mountain to sea.
To the Zizumara!
The starboard side is christened.
May the Zizumara never feel the touch of a boulder!
The stern is christened.
May the Zizumara be blessed by the playful and joyous spirit of the constellation Zizumara!
The port side is christened.
May the crew and passengers of the Zizumara have safe passage!
Co-builder Tom receives his Zizumara brass plaque to mount in the port side hatch...next to the wine rack.
Dad & I pre-launch.
Tommy is commandeered to launch the boat... Just a little pressure!
Pops off the trailer like a dream. Perfect launch, nice work Tommy!!
We take off on the maiden voyage.
Dad takes her for a spin and tries out his work.
Brother Pete takes a turn on the sticks.
Me, taking a tug on the oars.
Tommy pilots the family along the Bay.
Its a party boat.
Cheers Zizumara!
A day to remember.
Congrats!
