At last, some blue sky and sunshine and not too much wind. Oz and I launched from in front of the yacht club, to avoid the crazy stink boaters launching in the safe harbor next door.
We rowed to the dog beach, landed, and Oz met Lilly and Cocoa, old friends of his, and had very good run around and a jolly good bark.
Lilly and Cocoa's owners admired the Skerry, which did look pretty good on the sand bar there today in the sun.
After a run around, we re-imbarked, and rowed up to the mouth of the creek, keeping the sand bar close on the port side. I rowed in past the first mark, noting a couple of nasty boulders lurking below the surface. I will learn how to get into that creek over the coming weeks, it will be a good project. Maybe like Secret Water, I can make a chart.
We rowed back to the launch spot, to find that the tide was well out. After a false start, I strapped the folding trolley on, and we got through the mud, no worries. I had the boat back on the trailer and was ready to head home with 5 minutes to spare.
Another great little outing. I am enjoying the Skerry in row boat mode.
