Two friends came over yesterday saying they heard I was building a boat and

: now that getting into the water quickly may be difficult.

John,

Get ready for the assault as any where these boats go they draw attention. Last month I was heading from Seattle to Eastern Washington over Stevens Pass. While driving through Monroe I got lots of "thumbs up" and a couple of honks. Eight miles up the road in Sultan a guy in the truck in front of me stuck his hand out the window and waved me over. Never seen this man in my life and we are on the side of the road talking strip built, and he is taking pictures. It can be kind of disconcerting if you are uncomfortable being the center of attention!

Hang in there,
