Bob E's report and photos from the Kennebecasis run

Click on Ralph for lots more photos.
      We hadn't even gone anywhere yet and Bruce was buried under the bonnet of the Sunbeam. This was not a good omen and NOT a way to start the first run of the season.  Muttering that all was well, he closed the hood, never to open it again for the rest of the day.
       A magnificent(?) group of nine cars headed downriver under cloudy and cool skies with tops up and windows closed.  No one complained about the condition of the 102 since it was so nice to be finally going somewhere — anywhere, as a group.  We were joined along the way by another couple of couples and hit the Westfield ferry en masse.  The twenty minute drive to the Kennebecasis ferry gave me the opportunity to make a pair of wrong turns (when will you folks learn not to follow me?!) after which we were dumped almost literally at Ralph and Karen's doorstep.
      The afternoon consisted of many tours of the house and garages (there's a secret one tucked away under the porch) and of course, lots of food and drink.  The weather was at least warm enough to let us wander around and keep Nova from trying to drown herself in the river.  No one fell off the non-railled back deck, and even more surprisingly, no one got scalped on the low door in the secret garage.
       Karen-n-Ralph were great hosts and we all enjoyed ourselves.  Ralph has asked for some help moving the Jensen (and parts) from the church in the near future and all are asked to watch here for time and date.
     Thanks folks for a fun afternoon.

Many thanks to Bob and Diane for leading the FABAC group to Karens and Ralphs. While Route 102 offered it's challenges the superlative panoramic scenes of the lower Saint John River made up for any bumps in the road. Arriving at Karens and Ralphs was the frosting on the cake for the day. We were warmly welcomed and fed like royalty with the pot luck items from all those attending in addition to the BBQ burgers and wonderful scenery provided by Ralph and Karen. Bob has already provided appropriate words on the 2 level garage that most male folk admired many times over.

All in all we had a perfect day. So thanks to Bob and Diane for leading us and to Karen and Ralph for hosting the event. Much appreciated by all those attending.
