: I don't know, Julie, that new boat of Rob's, the Shooting Star has your name
: all over it. It will take less room to build and I hear they are all the
: rage these days. Awh, come on, Give it a look-see.

: Hey Girl, then you could wear that T-shirt I'm thinking of printing up.
: There's nothing more beautiful than a "Well Built Stripper!" With
: the picture of your new boat on the back. Whaddaya Think?? Works for me!

Oh, yeah! My bishop would just LOVE that!! Not to mention the reaction of the church council AND the "ladies aid"........ I think that shirt logos like that are addressed in the ELCA's Visions & Expectations For Ordained Ministers under the section, "Kiss Your Career Goodbye"

: So, all kiddin' aside, what are you lookin at building next?

: Rehd

I'm dreaming about a Redfish Spring Run.... the wrinkle is that there is a possibility (but not a certainty) of my moving in about 9 months, and so I'm hesitant to start something that may not be finishable by then.... of course, being in the middle of a boat project would increase the likelihood of moving... how many hours will it take to strip one of these??????

As an alternative, I'm thinking that an Arctic Tern 14 would make a nice graduation present for my niece, who is finishing her junior year--(particularly if I can convince my mother to pay for at least half the kit!) My niece (who is a quarter Eskimo, so she NEEDS a kayak-- its cultural heritage thing!) really likes my Tern 17. If I build a Redfish, I'd let her have the Tern 17.
