Pirogueing along

It was a relatively light winds morning, and I only had a few hours spare, so I dusted off the Bolger Pirogue. I can launch it at the local beach, it is super quick to rig and get on the water, and it I dont worry much about scraping it so I go closer to rocks and reefs ghan I would dream of in any other boat. I am sailing it more Duck Punt style, lying down with the windward leg draped over the gunnel. I went a bit over 2 nautical miles, average speed 1.9 knots.

Ozzie is distinctly unimpressed by the Pirogue. A bow wave from an inconsiderate stink boater broke over the front of the boat and splashed him while he was snoozing,  and he was understandably vexed. He will be glad to get back on the Core Sound where he has his own sheltered cubby cabin and where he can stretch out.
