John,

Good to hear from you!
I've been wondering how you've been making out with that fancy boat!
How are you progressing with it? Are you fancy inlays working out as you had hoped?
I launched my Baidarka this spring, have done lot's of paddling in it, and am very pleased with the boat. It will be interesting to hear how your new ride compares to your shorter boat.

Take care.

: I fastened an old wheel on to my strong back so I could work on my Shooting
: Star out side in the fresh air and good light. Better to have the sanding
: dust blowing away in the breeze rather then in the garage. I have my radio
: taped to the strong back and the tool tray under the strong back holds
: most of the tools I need while working outdoors. Also the electric drop
: line feeds 15 electric outlets along the strong back so my power tools can
: be plugged in at any area I am working. The saw horses are fastened to the
: strong back. Working outdoors on your favorite boat is hard to beat.
