Snudda is here! Actually she arrived yesterday in a driving rainstorm. Went back today, got her down from her rack, seven high, unwrapped the plastic, took off yards and yards of bubble wrap... enough to send a 4 yr old in paroxyms of joy. And then reality reared it's head. And I asked the lovely boatman, Seth, to please help. And he most graciously did. The wing rigger is on, I lowered the shoes and Im ready to row. Now all I need is a decent, i.e. non-rainy, non-windy, day. Tucked her back up onto the rack. I'll never be able to tie this boat down. I cant even reach it with the stairs. Im not as tall as I used to be.
