The model boat club I'm in will hold a boats in the park at night on Thursday Sept.19th at 6:30 P.M. At Spencer's pool in Burlington . We do get a lot of spectators that enjoy the lighted model boats So I figured I'd better install some lights on my Andrea Gail the photo isn't that good but it will have to do for now. P/S installing lights sure is a pain ! And I'll take a few shots when it's darker.

Sat. Sept 7 Our club will have a fun run with Military ships Warships Merchant marine & support ships I looked up Clive Puffers & found out that Puffers where support ships during WW2 & the Admiralty placed a order in 1939 for steamships on that design Class VIC for Victualling Inshore Craft so my Clive Puffer will fit right in. Hope for no rain & I'll post a few war ship Photos.

Went to the pool in Burlington Ontario to run my Sequin Tug that hadn't been in water since last year .It was a little cool but more club members showed up so took a few photos. Our club is holding a fun run Sept 7th 9am-noon Military Ships Merchant marine ships & support ships Hope weather will be nice Saturday .Just thought I'll try putting a little video on my Media post . My friend with the pirate ship was doing a test for leaks & it still is leaking .

We had a small meet but being I recently got a new camera I was able to test it out with a few photos and videos. The video is short at about 3 minutes.

(The sternwheeler is a work in progress and will be static model. It is a Chaperon kit modified to look like an operating sternwheeler here in Florida.)

As promised A few photos & some members models in Spencer's pool Burlington. Some of the boats shown are from other model clubs mostly Toronto modelers so I can't mention names of members boats because I don't know their names. Still lots of time for sailing & the puffer still leaks so I'll put stuffing box on a steeper up angle above water line. I just love fixing a problem with my model boats.

Today off to the park in Burlington .Club will be running Work Boats .Start time 9:am Hope we get a good turn out & I'll post a few photos later today. Next photo of the puffer will have the railings installed.

This is a mini Humidifier got it on Amazon I got idea from a club member

A few years back one of the TV stations in the Tampa Bay area sent a professional media crew out to record one of our meets. I got a copy of the finished video (permission granted by the TV station for reproducing). It is quite uplifting and shows you what model boating in Florida looks like.
I hope you enjoy it!
