I'm not one for naming my kayaks but if I bulld another wood kayak I'm tempted to name it "Sportin' Wood".

I named it "Isabel." I was well into the construction in 2003 when we got hit by hurricane Isabel. My house flooded. At the time, the boat was in the garage, and it got it's first taste of salt water when it was lifted off the cradle used during construction. Although it went thru the hurricane and was flooded, it floated and was not otherwise hurt in any fashion. It had been glassed inside and out, so all I had to do before continuing construction was to rinse it off (well, that and tens of thousands of dollars of home repairs and disaster recovery, but we won't go into that right now). Anyway, in honor of the hurricane launching her and otherwise not hurting her, I felt obligated to name it in her honor. It doesn't appear "on" the boat anywhere, but I refer to her as "Isabel.

"Frankenboat" is the name now being given to Chris Duff's boat, the one he took around New Zealand's South Island which is described in his book "Southern Exposure". I had a chance to paddle that boat, a bit. It still handles well, but Chris told me the boat had been so badly damaged by a bad surf landing during the trip that he could literally fold the stern over the bow. The cockpit had been virtually torn out. It's been repaired of course, but you can see how much damage had been done. Yet it's continues to be Chris' favorite boat. Now that's loyalty.

Ah Kirk but I was merely pilfering a bit of cultural mithos. blame the beer for the creativity!!!! I have some notions on a couple of sequels. The next one in the production line will be named El Cucui, in caribean lore the Boogey man. and the one after will be: El Sacerdote, Spanish for The Priest. kind of like a cheap thriller novel. El Chupacabras, El Cucui y El Sacerdote. ( The Goatsucker, the Boogey man and the Priest.) North American mythos seems so tame in comparison. Oversized hairy apes???? they can't hold a candle to the critters. :-) best: Michael ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kirk Olsen" <kork4_at_cluemail.com> > My current favorite name is Michael Silvius's "El Chupacabras" > > With a photo of Michael and said craft: > http://community.webshots.com/photo/162834950/165042901RQecLW > > If I were nearly so creative.... > -- > Kirk Olsen *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
