While I was building I promised Frank from round the corner a sail on the SCAMP. He came round yesterday looking sadly and longingly at the boat - he would really like one - and having a reasonable forecast and a free day,I arranged to meet him down at the ramp at 10 today. It's Snapper season and busy, but it actually wasn't so bad getting out or back in. The wind died right off. I launched the spar buoy with the 360 camera on it, and checked on my phone that it actually was turned on. Unlike the last fiasco where I managed to turn it off as I put it in the water. There was so little wind i had to row us backto pick the buoy up, which didn't make for particularly inspiring footage.
It was good to get out, it might have gone some way to ameliorate my Snapper season ramp phobia.
Today was the 27th day I have been on the water in the SCAMP since launching in February, and I have covered well over 200 nautical miles in her. Which is not too bad. I bet lots of boats out there are getting used a whole lot less.
