Tick tick tick...

Wow... time has sure flown by.

I'm getting ready for my two month trip to the Colombia River, and I'm hoping to leave July 1st. So much to do still and so little time.

Big thanks to ~P for being so understanding...

Still on the water lots and still not able to update my log.

It was a pleasure meeting ~D yesterday, despite the unfortunate event that led up to the meeting. Hope to paddle with you some day dear lady.

SOF Building Material Sources

I found THIS source for cotton for SOF building... they also carry a good selection of synthetic materials HERE.

...and another far less expensive source for Pine Tar HERE.

A Day Off

Finally decided to take a full day off... and I'm being an unapologetic and total bum-about-town today...

Having an espresso and reading up on Skin-on-frame kayak building... visiting all the paddle shops to touch base with friends... scratching my belly and stretching my legs...

ahhhhhhhhhhh...... life is good.

My kayaking log is out of date and I'm hoping to get a chance tomorrow to get it caught up. I'll be needing to go through my records though...

That's all folks ;O)

Nav course. Part II

Another run to Portland for more nav class with Karl. Incredible stuff!

Things that make one think... hmmmm....

Anyone else notice certain similarities? ;O)

There are no truly original designs...
