Enjoyment

This is mostly about using the dory to explore South Puget sound near Nisqually reach. It was a warm, clear blue day with a 14 foot tide and gentle winds except for kicking up to about 12 knots or so for an hour or so. I rowed down a small river, across the reach and back, a total of about 8 miles in mostly near calm water except for some strong currents and just enough wind to kick up some 1 foot waves. Hardly a good test or her full capabilities, but an excellent way to get used to the boat and take some nature pictures--what I built the boat for.
I did get around to weighing the boat and was delighted to find it was only 69 pounds.

Some pictures of my day.
