(still cracking up over the previous messages in this thread...)

but getting back to the original question, I am the somewhat wistful possessor of a handful of photocopied pages and four sheets of mahogany, which at some unknown time in the future, through diligent application of craft and musclepower (and powertoolpower, owh owh owh), will be transformed into a sleek boat of the SeaKayaker Greenland variety. That "wistful" is because I Ain't Gettin' Time To Work On It. Managed to get that massive wedding thing accomplished (mine, that is), but now I'm working long hours at my day job. Oh well, one of these days... Meanwhile, I read the KBBB and learn lots of clever tricks and gotchas.
