Pipe Dream Conquers Clayton

The main purpose of our cruise was to get Pipe Dream The Hodder Award, which they had been working on for 6 years. The secondary purpose was to show Pipe Dream in The Clayton Antique Boat Museum Boat Show.

As I have already mentioned The Museum has a hard time with none runabouts. These are beautiful boats and remind many of us of our youth at cottages. I have selected some of the boats which where at the show.  Remember if you click on any of the pictures they will enlarge.

  

While the top judges, those who judged the best of show never even saw Pipe Dream and no points where given for boats which where actually used Pipe Dream did win there category. The judges took 3.5 points off a 100 point score. Three of the three and a half points where for putting a new motor in the boat. The best part of the score sheet was the judges comments "Spectacular Boat".

The Ladies receive their award

On Sunday after the show had finished friends Gord and Margaret, my sisters and I went for a ride in one of the Museum's runabouts. Here is a little bouncy video.

As we were going for the ride while sitting in the back seat I took a picture of the mirror. I took several pictures due to the bouncing. Tis is the best.
