: Okay, after seeing how fast RB's wherry is going together, I had to confess
: that my Ches 17 is halfway done after two years. Just curious, who out
: there can beat that? We could start a construction slacker support group
: and finish these things. Although building is fun, isn't getting it wet
: the ultimate goal here? Now it's my time to wax poetic about this with an
: old song lyric: "Most vagabonds I know don't every want to find the
: culprit that remains the object of their long relentless quest. The
: obsession's in the chasing and not the apprehending, the pursuit, you see,
: and never the arrest."

: Let's "get up off our big fat rusty dusties" (another lyric, this
: one from Joe Williams) and get these things finished! Who's with me? Did
: the Americans quit when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Let's
: go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

: Cheers,

I have a set of frames for a gunning dory I cut out in 1989, and the stringers and keel for a baidarka i got out in 1987 hanging in my rafters.
