Earlier there was a thread discussing meeting in the South Puget Sound (Washington) area to look at options for fitting out kayaks. This brought an idea I had in my mind to fruition, so I have formally started what I call the South Sound Wooden Kayak Club. My goal is to meet at least once a month with other interested builders (and even some non-wooden kayaks, I'm not too biased), and get out on the water.

I have a web page set up at:

www.members.tripod.com/sswoodenkayakclub

with dates of upcoming trips (and some pictures of Mike Hanks and his Arctic Tern!) :-)

Check it out if you are interested (and live somewhere close to Tacoma, Washington).

Thanks! Jerry
