: I have never heard of NWOC Ben. I checked out their web site. Where are they
: in the Seattle area?

: Bout time you were getting foot pegs and a seat.............lol

: I'm about to begin my last big push. I'm thinking about using a gloss
: Varithane. Any thoughts about it's use instead of varnish. I could put on
: several coats a day instead of the usual of needing a week of good weather
: to apply coats of varnish. Last summer I lost a month of boating because
: of varnish delays with my Devlin Dipper.

: I hope that Guillemont is all that you hoped it would be.

: Stan

Thanks Stan, I would recommend you use whatever method is slowest.
Its really going to chap my hide if you get your boat done first. :)

Northwest Outdoor Center, they have a really good little shop. Like Pete said they are on the east side of lake union and we were there hoping to rent a few boats. It really was too windy for them to be renting but it made for some fun in my boat!!!
I started carving my seat....my boats seat last night. The dragonskin sure makes quick work of the minicell foam.

We really need to see some pictures you know!!!!

Hope you are able to make it to R2K1 this summer.
