Yesterday was launch day! After a VERRRRY LONG winter working almost everyday the light at the end of the tunnel is near.  Have a few more projects to wrap up the new engine installation and then a big clean up to have her ready to sail.  A quick sea trial yesterday proved successful.  The Queen was smooth and happy picking up speed while burning the same amount of fuel as the old Detroits.   Let hope the Stripers get here soon.  Looking like a last Saturday in April start this season.  Hope to see ya aboard
