AQ to start new season on Mar 9th

She took on fuel two prior, according to a hanger-around-the-docks bud.

Sorry Paul, but I was on vacation when that happened. Hazel was aboard as photographer and I have no idea what happened to those images. Since the owner of Paddle Pics Photos, Bruce Summers, has died I suppose they are lost forever. I understand that several passengers bought photos of the AQ "backing" under the bridge with only a one inch clearance, so maybe someone can post it here.

They were painting that side, that's why the boat was headed-down.

Painting? Scrubbing? What's the difference other than in degrees? Literally. Captain CCH was a firm believer, and passed on to YT, that we painted when the weather was dry, and scrubbed when it rained. But this paint job was apparently a pre-departure, last minute dash to get the boat ready to roll.
