Default Porta-Bote Maiden Voyage and Sculling Modifications liv

Pix are up, finally :{))

I like the Spiralite 115, what they had in stock. Virtually identical
specs to the 090 recommended. See the late May gallery towards the end
for the installation on the head. I got a whole roll of 3/4 and 25' of
the 1.25.

Looking at my pix, I see the flop of the oarlocks went away when I
started to use them, so perhaps I won't bother with getting extensions
made. As long as I'm not pushing out on the oar handles, the weight of
the oar in the flat of the lock ought to keep it relatively oriented to
the oar. So long as I can put strain on it, I can row it :{))

"Believe me, my young friend, there is *nothing*-absolutely
nothing-half so
much worth doing as simply messing, messing-about-in-boats; messing
about in
boats-or *with* boats.
In or out of 'em, it doesn't matter. Nothing seems really to matter,
that's
the charm of it.
Whether you get away, or whether you don't; whether you arrive at your
destination or whether you reach somewhere else, or whether you never
get
anywhere at all, you're always busy, and you never do anything in
particular; and when you've done it there's always something else to
do, and
you can do it if you like, but you'd much better not."
