It’s launched!! The brand spangly new boat has arrived on Tungog Lake! A whole
army of local guys appeared in the morning having tugged it along the river
from the village, then hoiked it up the jetty where we met them with our
cameras to snap away at the excitement.
It was a very jolly affair with a lovely sense of team
spirit, and after much sweating and heaving, the boat slid onto the lake to the
sound of our merry cheers!
Here are some photos to give you a sense of the action… (sorry for the random order-internet slow so I can't easily re-jig)
1 - 2 - 3 heave!
Martin checking the new engine works!
Almost there...
Asman's happy!
Martin showing his strength!
Here it comes!...
Incidentally, the boat is officially called Ability (chosen by our largest crowd-funding contributor), but unofficially we are calling it 'Pyjama Lagi' after a rather unnsuccessful attempt by me
