Wheeling 2002
The weather was great until Sunday morning! The rain drove off some
boats and many spectators, until if finally ended early Sunday afternoon
Nelson, Robyn and her Sister entertained everyone again this weekend, including
the Captain of the Lauren Elizabeth in the green western shirt.
The race started on time since the rain had stopped. Here is the Lady
Lois and her calliope coming past Oh Susana to the race staging area.
Oh Susanna at speed as we raced past the spectator area.
Gambler was looking good on our starboard. From the way Marilyn was
dancing, I think they won the race!
The Criterion is just a downright beautiful boat!
Lady Lois wins her race with Nelson at the sticks. I don't know which
one of the whistles she was blowing, but it was obviously one of the big
ones. They have the calliope blowing steam also.
Playing their victory song!
The races brought out some spectators. The Lauren Elizabeth is a fair
sized boat as she appears at the right side of the warf.
The fireworks were by the Zambelli's, man they are the BEST! Their
red, white and blue stars are amazing. I hope everyone stayed dry
on their way home.
