Launching: SOF Canoe... First Try... Hmmm :\ *Pic*

Well, the launch of the SOF canoe a la Morris came today. Water temperature was about 60, and I did not end up in the water... but the boat was not stable enough to say it was successful.

I will lower the seat by 4 inches and see if that makes the difference. Maybe I will try again tommorrow.

But it is launched, and it is pretty. Now, I wonder if I can make it work??

(I did put someone in the front seat. That made it worse! Back to the drawing board.)
