• The evening of the surprise party was so much fun as Bob and Tania's friends from Gulf Harbour had spent three weeks planning this get together...

       

  The setting was the Marina which made it somewhat difficult for the party planners as Bob was working on me (the boat) almost all day long.  Fortunately they had lookouts who would report when Bob was approaching the parking lot or walking down the dock, etc.  The surprise occurred when Bob and Tania were supposed to be at Clay and Nunna Spikes for a dinner party.  Venue was changed at the last moment and "surprise" as everyone filed out of the Marina Restaurant.

The Planners were able to get the band from the local bar "The Cracker Box".  "Pop" and the guys sure put on a great show and lots of dancing took place that night...

 

     

 

• The beautiful weather helped to make the evening a great success.  You can see me (the boat) at the end of "D" Dock which had been my home for about 10 years.  A wonderful sunset added to the evenings festivities.  The food was a good barbeque that everyone enjoyed.

• Inside the marina restaurant there was more food, wine, beer, and other drinks for everyone.  Darlene, Pat Canfield, Lance Rogers, Sandi Hill came to say goodbye.  Bob was presented with an "ACME Lightning Bolt Resister Helmet" to ward off any stray bolts that may come nearby.  Jerry Hill, Marilyn Kistler, Bob and Tania enjoying the evening.
