Paddle, Wake views of the Liberty Belle

This video isn t the most exciting thing to watch for most people, but I wanted to watch the paddle underway and try to capture the neat wake pattern that the paddle makes behind the boat. There is a pattern of peaks and valleys that follow the boat right behind the paddle. These waves extend aft a long way. I also need to find the best position to put the camera before I go to the lake and fire the boiler. I waited till the relief valve was blowing and she was itching to run to set up the camera. Not the time for that :) This is also the first run on water since I disassembled the engines to anodize the cylinders and valve blocks. A bit of corrosion was found in the cylinder bore during the measuring process for the CAD drawing I made of the engine assy. The teardown caused the loss of all timing. I need to adjust some of the valve timing to get it running a bit smoother. Pete br, br,
