The Launching

Time to trailer the Sea Scull to the harbor then haul her across the bay to her home at the cabin.


On the road




At the Boat Yard





Transfer to the Motor Boat



Launching the Motor Boat















Crossing The Bay





Safe at the Cabin










Not as graceful as hitting her over the bow with a bottle of champagne. But, just as effective.






Right now I am thinking, "Holy shit, she doesn't draw any water!"



Max's boat!

Rowing system and sliding seat installed. Time for sea trials.



Things are going quite well. Once I learn to operate the sliding seat and forward-facing rowing system while balancing the boat, this baby will fly.



Max is behaving. Sea trials are going splendid!





"Uh Oh! No Max! You can't sit like that!"

"Holy shit! We are going to capsize! Max! Center! Max! Center!"

No matter how loud I yell "CENTER!" the dog will not move to the center of the boat. Maybe I should have taught him the command "center" BEFORE GETTING IN THE BOAT!

Ahhh...safely to shore...and exhausted.



Jettison the dog and continue sea trials

Everything is going fine except the oarsman doesn't know how to operate the sliding seat and forward-facing rowing system while balancing the boat. Other than that, all is well. 

Enough for one day.



The Sea Scull at rest


Lessons learned:
  1. I need to learn to operate the sliding seat and forward-facing rowing system while balancing the boat.
  2. I need to teach Max to sit in the center of the boat BEFORE putting him in the boat.
