Big Moo Canoe

Doing a bit of paint touch up and other maintenance before the WA360. My project list is getting shorter each week and all my packing is basically done. The next 30ish days will be focused on training and hopefully building some additional shelves in the cabin to make the space more functional, given that I may be camped out inside for as much as 14-days during the race.

I got out for a quick high-wind training run yesterday and got a bit more than I was bargaining for. Winds went from the mid-teens to well over 30mph and it was super gusty, as well. I pulled out between fronts and packed the boat up in driving rain - when does it ever rain in Colorado? Oh well, it's better than sitting on the couch. Angus Rowboats RowCruiser Adventures
