I’m still amazed every time she comes by the Everts.
As she rounded the new green navigational cans tonight we could hear her dragging bottom.
Notice the 18′ boat and in the last picture the people standing on the top deck to help get a perspective.
she was docked in St Paul on Friday and I was amazed. I could see going on a trip on it.
I have only seen her at night and man is she big! The mist coming off of the wheels is amazing too.
