28 Aug 21:
We scouted out a new local spot on the James River, turns out it will be a great place to beach launch the smaller boats and it also has a boat ramp and docks. Our 5x10 Carry On utility trailer is the perfect size for the 2 kayaks Clark and SACAGAWEA, I launched Skipper then came back to get my kayak with our new Railblaza C-Tug, a versatile cart that is going to work great for the kayaks and canoe. (Small Boats Magazine C-Tug article).
Posing for article photos.

The kayaks are now river certified. One more accomplishment today was testing out the layout of our boat yard, we hoped to have room to pull into the yard and make a U-turn with the tow vehicle and trailer(s), so far so good. One of the appealing aspect of small boats is the ability to keep them at your home, on the side of the house, or in a parking spot, garage, Sunfish Shack etc...They are easy to maintain and work on, and easy to transport. We spent many years with 2 small sailboats, and when we found a property close to the water and with a little more room, we expanded from a flight of 2 boats to our current Armada of 15.
Small boating is our hobby, with the subset hobby being restoration of the physical craft. At our new Station we will be shifting focus a bit to the beneficial aspects of restoration of the soul, through the use of these boats. We have new territory to explore, and many ways to get there. And we'd like to hear about your adventures.
Fair winds,
Skipper and Clark
