[Today’s run: silo – six miles]<\/p>\n
Yesterday my son and I took the new boat out for the first time.<\/p>\n
My daughter and wife decided that I needed a boat.\u00a0 So they shopped on Craigslist and found one really cheap.\u00a0 My wife told me we had something to pick up, but not what it was.<\/p>\n
So we drove the truck about 80 miles and picked up this old boat.\u00a0 I’ll get a picture for you eventually.<\/p>\n
It is a bit used.\u00a0 Yesterday, my son and I took it out on the water.\u00a0 If floats.\u00a0 And it didn’t leak at all that we could tell.\u00a0 It is all aluminum, a pointed-prow style, 12 feet long with three seats.<\/p>\n
Now I am wanting to get some oars set up for propulsion.\u00a0 I bought some wood at Lowes this evening to start making oars.\u00a0 Unfortunately, I intended to buy 8 ft boards but I bought 6 ft boards by mistake.\u00a0 I already have one oar cut out, so I guess it will be a practice oar.\u00a0 If it works ok then I’ll just go with the 6′ oars.<\/p>\n
Store bought oars are about $50 each, so I can still probably be ahead a little bit.<\/p>\n
