Labor Day Weekend - "Run What You Brung Day"
by Ray Seta
What started out this AM as wet drizzly day
with no hope of winds, turned out to be an outstanding day for an
un-official cookout at the Club for the members. "Run What you Brung
Day" lived up to it's title today as we had a plethora of R/C boats
hits the water. Having 5 IOM's, 2 OD's, a "Budman Skiff", and even a
beautifully wood crafted gaff rigged full sized boat hitting the
water today. But I think the best part of the day was the family
turn-out we had with about 15 folks with wives and kids to enjoy the
day. Complete with, of course, Tony Seta doing the BBQ duty and Mama
Seta and Christina setting the tables, it was yet another day of
nobody going home hungry. Mitch Martin for Austin even made the
drive down with his IOM, even if it was for just a few hours before
he had to book back up North to host a party at his house at 5 PM.
Hope he made it to his own party, considering he was floating in the
middle of the lake with no wind at 3:15......lol.......Even though
it was a hot humid day (typical for SA), it was a great day to just
hang out and talk shop knowing we didn't have work tomorrow. At the
end of the day we were all treated to the launching of a home made
craft and family project named "ASLAM". David Lindow Jr. and family
set sail late, about 5PM, for their 3 hour tour of Woodlawn Lake
with family of two little girls that were all so cute when they told
us about sanding the deck for their dad during the construction. One
note about this boat, every bit of this boat is hand made, including
making his own turning blocks out of wood to show the real age of
this type of craft. Enjoy our photos of today's Labor Day Sail at
Woodlawn and how the Pirates of Woodlawn spent the day.
