1959 Foto - Fast Fwd to 2019
Bob Carver's signature is also in the lower left corner. The location of the jump was in front of the long gone Redondo Marina (WA). If you look at the Merc Boathouse Bulletin copy you will see a tree line near the shore. Today, all of those trees are gone and covered with water front and view homes.

1959 Landing
I was 4 years old in 1959. I'm pretty sure that no one is alive today who may have witnessed this jump. Bob Carver's boat race photos were published in a book years ago. It may say something about the outcome of the jump? Redondo Marina (Redondo / Des Moines WA) is long gone and the only thing that remains is the boat launch (Google Maps). Redondo WA is on salt water which explains how the ramp got built (minus / low tides). It would have been financially impossible to build a ramp in fresh water (Lake Washinrton, etc) at the time. An impossible project in this day and age (EPA,DNR, state, federal agencies, etc) No wonder Lake X is a nature reserve now. Many of the sites we used to race at in western WA have been eliminated or stopped. Constructing a dock on private land requires a 5 year lead time for environmental impact alone and does not include hearings where your neighbors are given the chance to complain about it.
