<p>Shipwright Jon Derry makes his way across the deck of the Questa on Wednesday, June 15, at the Flathead Lake Lodge in Bigfork as the boat is returned to Flathead Lake after seven years of restoration work. The white hose on the lower left of the photo is the bilge pump. Captain Scott Plumb said the boat would leak when first put in the water because it takes a bit of time for the boards to swell and seal.  (Brenda Ahearn/Daily Inter Lake)</p>
