I was able to get the boat on the water today. I rowed for 8 miles. It worked well, but I will need to make some adjustments to the height of the rigger and the oars. I have a couple kinks to work out in order to allow me to be on it for an extended period of time.

I think I may need an IV drip of amino acids and pain medication…

Here are some pictures of the maiden voyage. On our way! Thanks for all the contributions and wishes of encouragement.
