More Fitness Cruising

A late evening cruise in the semi-darkness, again working on a sustainable cruising pace. Ideally these sorts of paddles should be 50km, not 12km, but time is my enemy in preparation as usual….!
I've put a Bumfortable by Gurney Gears in the Taran & have misaligned it ever so slightly. Barely noticeable on a short cruise but likely to be a royal pain in the arse on a longer journey, so that will have to be re-glued on Monday.
Only a week to go until the boats head north with Chris' Dad, and still quite a bit of reinforcing to be done, Onno gas pedals to be fitted, proper long haul under load preferably downwind to be paddled, & a week of bloody westerlies forecast!
