I know that too, I felt it. But then not everyone, certainly not Mary in this case, is driven to a goal.. 3 days, a month, 2000 miles across the wide ocean or whatever. Some people just like to mess about in boats and for us more driven types we have to learn when to say when as well before we scare our friends or family right out of the sport! :) Hey Sharon,

The "are we having fun?" question can be hard to ask but surprising easy to answer. It's just tough throwing in the towel. Glad you and Mary got out for a paddle together!

The first picture of the Scorpio is really interesting. With that lighting, one can see how big the cockpit is - the boat almost look like an Alaskan kayak...
