Crane Day at Wabum Marina - Ever wonder how they get one of those deep keel monsters out of the water. It's surprisingly easy if you know the tricks. The key is to be organized and to have a buddy who knows what he's doing. Below is a typical sequence.

The 2001 San Juan Rendezvous on Wabamun Lake
This was the second time for three of the crews at this event. For the majority it was their first time. The weather was very cooperative with  a light breeze keeping the bugs away. Most of the new comers learned some new tricks and I think the projects will keep them busy this winter.  In attendance were 5 SJ23s, 1 SJ24, 1 SJ7.7 and 1 SJ28.
