I've been off the water for the past week and a half because our county requires boating permits on watercraft over 8 feet in length. They cost $24 for the year and today, Aug 1st they went to only $12. I decided to wait to get the permit instead of spending more for only a couple of weeks. Next year they'll increase to nearly $40, from what I've heard.

But, now I can get out on the water and get pictures of the new, homemade outriggers in use! I'm going to see if they'll support me standing up, of which I have little doubt. I hadn't intended to use them my self, I made them for the kids, but I may find them neccessary someday.

Pictures to follow soon...
