The Betty Ann arriving at its new home in Connecticut at Port Niantic. What great lines! Note: If the port window looks kind of odd, it's because it is a piece of plexiglass taped to the hull with white shrinkwrap tape. While Les was trailering our boat cross country, a passing vehicle threw up a stone, which crashed through 3/8" tempered glass! What are the odds of that happening, and to such robust glass? So it's going to be a few weeks before the glass is replaced.

The Betty Ann on Les Lampman's Trailer after its arrival in Connecticut. Please note that Les' trailer is designed for much heavier loads -- like Rosborough's.

Dave's Marinaut taken one day before our test ride. This picture reveals the true size of this boat, and is a good view of the bow.
Our strategy at La Conner to avoid the remanants of that hurricane in September 2011-- nestle ourselves between large boats. Can you find us? O.K. -- we were dwarfed by larger boats, but bigger is not better -- only bigger. The boat in front us was owned by a wonderful couple, and afforded their entire family plenty of room. However, their engine was not powerful enough to make it through Deception pass against the tide like we can. We can go anywhere. There is a niche for everyone in boating. We like having some of the conveniences of a large boat, but the power to take us just about anywhere safely (within reason), superior fuel economy, and shallow draft operation to navigate our rivers and gunkholes on the East Coast.
