New Boat 4 Sled

I tend to favor plywood box boats as well Howard- but 110s at the CBC ? The Santa Cruz 110 fleet ? Surely you jest.

Fantasy is fun! And I have not yet spoken with the CBC Commodore about a 110 fleet but he has mentioned a SCAMP championship series!

Yesterday's paddle to Steamer Lane was warm and glassy. No surf and two dozen otters, many with pups.

Today was a whole nother kettle of fish. SC Harbor entrance closing out and 15 foot surf where we paddled yesterday.

Much flotsam collected inside the Harbor until my 8 foot kayak could hold no more. 2 fenders, an ice chest with bilge pump inside, vodka bottle, bike handgrip, kayak paddle,

Good on you for picking up so much plastic and other debris.

I always thought SPRITE (from "spirit") would be a good name for a small boat, like the Scamp now in CBC's registry (Howard named his Scamp PUFF, an equally fun name). What is a "sprite?" It is a small elfish and ephemeral spirit. Here's a view of some red sprite lightning taken recently in France. Cool. Photo courtesy of Nicolas Escurat.
