FIELD JOURNAL FIELD JOURNAL FIELD JOURNAL FIELD JOURNAL Launch and to the Emerald Lagoon
by Linda Conrad |
 With the Privateer boat in place at the end of the ramp, |
 the truck backed the Station down the ramp. |
 The launch churns up the water as it begins to pull in reverse. |
 Russ (in the water) coordinated between the launch and truck, keeping ever in mind the end of the launching ramp! |
 The station is afloat, and now the boat must position itself for towing the 27,000-pound station. |
Look backwards to you? You're right, |
|
With Commander Dennis atop the station, and Russ and Joe manning the deck, the parade proceeded slowly past mangrove forests and exotic birds that seemed to pose atop waterway signs, just asking to have their pictures taken. |
