boat launch
The Firefly was launched a couple of weeks ago at the Lake Champlain Maritime Museum, and I got to be MCTV's second camera operator. It was terrific, although I managed to hit "backlight" during the last few minutes. Believe me, sunshine on open water is a subject that should never be filmed as if backlit!

It was only afterwards that we learned that the food coloring wouldn't wash right off. I think the pink has faded by now, though!
