: I have been lurking/reading/contributing to this site for about 5-6
: years......learning everything I know about boatbuilding from this site. I
: built Nick's Hybrid Night Heron, a SOF, and got started on Joe Greenley's
: King. Due to some medical stuff I need to move on, and have decided to
: sell all of my boats, gear, and overall paddling stuff. Will be heading
: back to a road bike after many years away.

: I want to thank Nick for making this extraordinary community of people
: available for years of fun, inspiration and support. I have been around
: long enough to see folks come and go. I would HIGHLY recommend those who
: haven't, to search the Profiles section and Archives.....GREAT stuff
: there!

: A special thanks to Ross Leidy, Joe Greenley, Joe Babina, and Bob
: Kayes.....along with MANY others who have enriched my life in recent
: years.

: For those who are interested, I am selling loads of paddling gear,
: boatbuilding plans/materials, and books/dvd's......contact me via email
: and I will send a long list.

: After first reading Dyson's Baidarka 20+ years ago, I had always wanted to
: paddle my own homebuilt kayak. This community helped me to achieve this
: goal.....and to try out new possibilities.
: Peace to all,
: Bob
