I back channeled this to Craig Jungers in response to his plea for something to roust him from his winter blahs. It cheered him up. the fact that my boat project got out of the garage cheered me up a lot more, believe me! In any case, although a bit off topic, here are links to latest photos, and some text describing where I am at: > Pretty big day. Thanks to a bunch of rowdy old farts, we eased the boat down my sloping driveway onto its trailer ... safely. BigBadBruce backed up the anchor; Ralph did photo duty; Coughlin told us what to do; Bob tied knots; Gary made sure they were OK; Karl worked the jack and hosed bunks; I stood around, got nervous, and went to the bathroom frequently. > > New photos begin here: http://www.pbase.com/bartenderdave/image/90298870/original > > Boat is now in the shed with another guy's 26-footer. We believe the progeny will be 22 footers. I think I'm due stud fees. [Whinny!] > > Waiting on registration, insurance, etc. maybe some sea trials soon. For those who may have missed this the first time I mentioned it, this boat is our "mother ship" to allow our aging joints to rest en route to protected bays, whereat we will assemble the two folding kayaks (Folbot Kodiak; Cooper) stored in the cabin, and gunkhole until we are tired, satisfied, or hungry! -- Dave Kruger Astoria, OR *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
