Needed a photo ship to take some pictures for Small Boat Magazine so we pressed our Penobscot 14 ST. JACQUES into service. We took her out, used the padook, the paddle and rowed a bit. Then we came back close to shore and anchored with the Wilcox and Crittenden Navy 5 pounder, first time for ST. J. It held fast in the blowing gale. Storm built up so we went ashore. We experimented with boarding over the stern, and that worked well. Then I was struck with inspiration, why not load her on the dolly stern first? That worked well also, now she is just like the Herreshoff Amphi-Craft PRIM that rides backwards on her trailer. Next we gave her a fresh water wash down and sucked out the water with the cordless wet vac, easy and fast.
Miles rowed .5/Total 22.5
