For those who love the romance of going without an outboard... I was sailing my SCAMP in light wind in the Everett channel on Friday. I always sail on and off the dock if I can, and carry oars for when I can’t. I always had my Honda 2.3 on my M15 but I haven’t used the motor on the SCAMP yet. Anyway, I got to the south end of the channel and was becalmed on a strong foul tide. I rowed my ass off and barely made it back into the channel without being swept out into the bay. In Puget Sound you need to really know your tides and currents and understand the wind can disappear despite the forecast, and have a reliable auxiliary of some kind. I don’t like bringing a kicker, but it really is the prudent choice in some areas. Rusty www.rustyknorr.weebly.com
