And Now, What You've All Been Waiting For---
The one, the only...
Moxie's Launch Day With Pictures!
( Lots of Pictures; You Have Been Warned )
We went out again this morning. Because, well, new canoe, weather okay--have you seen Panther Creek State Park yet? No? Oh, you'll like this.
( And you know you want to find out what happened here. )
I am happy to report that Moxie is stable (automatically returns upright when you stop forcing her over) with her gunwale an inch under the water. I had to move my center of gravity out over the water to make her go.
So, all in all, a lovely lovely weekend. In spite of the fact that I forgot to give my wallet to Alice before I tipped the boat. I caught it before it floated away or sank, anyway. And looking back on it it would have been smart if I had brought a big fluffy towel to put on the seat before I drove home. But still, lovely weekend.
