Just got back home after the ferry crossing and drive from Harwich to
home. Ferry was scheduled in at 8pm but we were off the ship and
through customs by 8.05, not bad!

The whole weekend has been fantastic. The weather was gorgeous, the
engines were even better than gorgeous and the people we met were
truly great to be with.

There are nearly 500 pictures awaiting editing and a lot of video
clips to sort through.

The Onan genny sulked all weekend and only ran spasmodically, but our
youngest son picked up a French Bernard F112 engine to bring home. The
Onan looks to have problems in the magneto, and we did pick another
new one at the show that was similar enough to try swapping parts, but
detail design differences made that a non-starter, just like the
engine!

Folks we met up with included Arnie, Jim & Dolly, Craig Morrison, Ria
Hammink and more. Lots of tales to tell sometime, the trailer is
outside waiting to be unloaded but that will have to wait until
morning.
