Hello BR Crew family, we’ve got a tank (size adult small) we’re giving away. Figured I’d probably have an easier time finding a home for it here than at Salvation Army. Let me know if you’d like it.
W-L Crew installed their dock last weekend.
Our friend many if you have W-L Coach Bob Shepherd created a link to a YouTube playlist of 7 videos that track last Saturday's movement of the PBC docks back home to the club. For those that haven't seen this annual operation, it's pretty special.

Here's the process:
Early on the 2nd Saturday each February, 10 members of a lead team from the W-L Crew team and coaching staff meet at PBC to start the process. This year, the 10th member of the lead team was the PBC Dock Captain who is in charge of the docks at the club. This lead team fills 2 boats with transoms, engines, brooms, gas cans, tools and team members and heads down to the Pentagon Lagoon. Once at the lagoon, the team installs the transoms on the end of the dock, installs engines on the transoms, and drives the docks like a barge back upriver to the Potomac Boat Club. While driving up on this trip, you can see W-L team members and the PBC Dock Captain cleaning the goose droppings off of the docks, the coach repairs the propeller on a launch, and three team members operating the 3 engines to drive the dock.
Once back at PBC, the rest of the team meets this lead team and this larger team positions the docks and remounts the 12 ramps that you can see stacked on the docks in this video.
This is done in coordination with the PBC members, who perform the opposite process (PBC to the lagoon) the first week in December each year.
Can't wait for Spring season❣
