Grumman Canoe SCOUT Outing 11 Apr 20

11 Apr 20:

Our Grumman 17 Double End canoe SCOUT went out for 30 minutes today, took us with it. After we got back I tried out paddling solo, with the stern end first, riding on the bow seat facing the stern. Balance was a lot better than going solo from the stern seat. Also tried kneeling just aft of amidships and rolling the canoe onto her chine a bit. Balance and control were great, but the knees probably wouldn't hold out too long.

SCOUT was originally olive drab. One of Jack's favorite boats.
