Well here we go!  Just kinda kick'n the tires for now.  Learning a bit on how to present and download things.  These pictures tell a story of bringing a Gondola from Venezia to Alamitos bay in Long Beach.  The video is me rowing the "Erla Farnea" just after purchase in Venezia on the Isle of
Giudecca!  The picture on the beach is at the Gondola Getaway in Long Beach, Ca just a month later.
We bring her up at high tide then let the tide drop to give us a "dry dock" situation.  Not at all unlike the way they do it in Venezia
