Complete

...on the absurdly early date of 4/2.
Now what am I going to do on "furlough? 😖
Weather is Early Spring-40's when cloudy, 50's when sunny. I know I won't be able to wait long before trying it out.
4/6....and so I couldn't! Waited 2 excruciatingly for two cold, cloudy days until today, when the sun came out, and it was near 60 degrees. Tried it at my Favorite Tryout Lake. Got a decent fit in the cockpit, after some adjustments. On the water, it seemed slow, but I had to keep reminding myself that I was mentally comparing it to the speedy Outer Island. Stability and tracking are good. I want to see how it acts in waves. 
6/8
After using it in a variety of conditions, I like it better than at first. The O.I. is faster at top speed-this boat seems to glide more easily at low speed. Predictably, a little more "bouncy" in waves.
