Nice day for exercise, stretch the muscles, our Penobscot 14 ST. JACQUES took us out for a row. Grabbed some PFDs, water, crackers, bluetooth speaker and launched from the dolly. The tide was running out and wind was light from the East, so we headed upwind/uptide with the hopes of rowing for a half our or so, then drifting back with the tide and breeze. The plan worked! Temp was already in lower 80s with humidity up, but a nice scattered cloud deck started building and we had a bit of shade. We also wore some new sun protective gear from Columbia, tops and long pants to keep the skin covered but omni-cool and omni-shade fabrics that breathe. They worked great, no sizzle feeling on exposed skin. Skipper also tried out her new watercolor pencil sketch pad. A couple of osprey were out looking for breakfast, and a batch of white egrets flew by, otherwise the bay was pretty quiet.
ST. JACQUES will be an important part of our cross fit program, a beautiful rowing machine that gets us out into nature.
