So here I am a couple of days on the other side of the christening. Almost 2000 people came out to wish us well and the press coverage was incredible. We even made it onto the Weather Channel - though Jim Cantore was not on hand. Oh well - maybe next time!

Recovering now - I think I ran on borrowed steam (my engine fired with diet Coke and Stella Artois rather than anthracite and salt water...)and have now succumbed to the plague that has swept Ye Olde Boat Museum for the past few weeks.

But I thought I'd at least post this photo for all to see.

Man this is such a cool job....

Oh - and I've joined the Flickr phenomenon - there's a link to the left that will take you to more pictures.
