: Hi Bill,

: It's too cold here in Indiana for me to be paddling but a good time to build,

Hi John,

Well it's not "that" cold that you can't paddle at all, just not every day, I'm quite a bit north of you afterall :)

I'm still slowly plugging away at the Sea Bee in the shop (garage) but it's getting to the point it would be nice to be able to use the garage for the car :) Luckily SOF's are a pretty quick build, so won't take forever.

How'd you rig the sail to allow it to be dropped?
