Took the Cetus MV to the pool and did some rolls and some sculling and some re entry and rolls. I sat on the back deck and got in and out of the cockpit to practice balance. That's the good news.

One of those nights...in the pool.
Took the Cetus MV to the pool and did some rolls and some sculling and some re entry and rolls. I sat on the back deck and got in and out of the cockpit to practice balance. That's the good news.
For the life of me, I couldn't get onto the deck from the water. I couldn't cowboy and couldn't even pull off a simple paddle float rescue (which I have done 1,000 times). Finally stopped and called it an evening. Makes me wonder if I have too much boat, too little upper body strength. I may just have to get by on my good looks (I know, I know).

I have days like that (actually about 2 weeks ago). Just write it off to a bad day.
I hear you...and I ache all over today.
Hey Silbs--
Were you jumping on the deck behind the cockpit? Or trying to throw a leg over farther down toward the stern. Best bet for the Cowboy as far as I can tell is to get up on the deck from the side at or behind the rear hatch cover and then throw a leg over and scoot up. There is so much less buoyancy in the boat that far back that you can pretty much push it underwater as you climb on.
I tried it all and suspect fatigue played a part. The boat was empty and floating high as well. Will give it a go again soon.
I can only imagine that your mojo had somehow been adversely affected by the barrage of cosmic rays that is currently impacting the ionosphere. Once the Aurora settles down you should be back in the swing of things...
