You built a solid and lovely boat, John. I keep it sheltered in a storage unit and trailer it to lakes in Alabama and Georgia, and soon to camp cruise along the coast - Tybee, Hilton Head, St. Catherine's, St. Simon's, etc. The detailed work is much appreciated -- for example the storage locker lid design, and the little shelves. Seeing the excellent build documented gives me a confident feeling this boat will last decades.

I was pretty much holding the sheet while inexperienced passengers steered, and by reviewing the GPS track I see we were mostly going back and forth across the wind, though I think we could have made better headway if we were paying more attention. - DaveWoodnMetalGuyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07650735119777059767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6603759559639831257.post-41547237366408186632015-06-11T05:58:22.565-07:002015-06-11T05:58:22.565-07:00Congratulations!

I can't wait...I'm about 2 weeks from completion.<br />Congratulations on a very well thought out and completed build. One you can be proud of for many years. I really admire your boat. I hope I get to meet you and see your boat in person some time. Hats off to you.<br />Brent<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02016396286746287259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6603759559639831257.post-53326631466736452372015-06-08T07:18:33.825-07:002015-06-08T07:18:33.825-07:00Congratulations!
