Bluenose Relaunch & Montage

By 4:05pm on Friday, I was off-island bound for Lunenburg and the relaunch of Bluenose II. Upon my arrival, we went immediately to the Knot. Why Knot? And that pretty much set the mood for the entire weekend. The weather was fitting - warm drizzle and fog - for launching schooners and drinking dark&stormies (for medicinal purposes/to ward off grippe). Everyone sported their finest rain gear and Lunenburg Tuxedos for the big event, which was epic as you will see in the following montage:

Or, if you were an invited dignitary, your view of the launch looked like this:
