So... how do we get this boat out of here?!?

Decks went on, joints were taped, parts were distributed and questions were answered. It's all up to them to finish now.

We packed up the trailer and begin our trip home.

Last pic: notice the boat shaped grass preserves.

Finally made it and got all setup.

Adventure on the road

Well we've paid our due to the road trip gods. Hopefully a pair of trailer wheel bearings will be an acceptible sacrifice.

Bound for Mystic, Ct

Southbound does it again

On the beach at the OFUM

It's been drizzling on and off all afternoon here at the start line. Not enough to discourage people from playing in their boats at the CLC event but a bit of a chill in the air. Fog rolled in on the bay around sunset. Had a big fish dinner. Passed out in the tent.
