Boat Launches: A Community Affair

Boat launches were festive occasions. When Dad finished building the Saucy Lass, my parents threw a big lawn party, with a sumptuous spread of food, including a cake depicting the Saucy Lass. Murray Henderson’s notorious party punch flowed like water. When I christened the Saucy Lass with a bottle of bubbly, I almost fell off the ways, having imbibed a tad too much of the party punch.
