: Looking forward to putting you out in some "real" kayaking
: conditions. Seas in Feb should be 6 to 8 feet. We're going to paddle about
: 20 miles one-way of open water. I will have the SOF done by then as well.
: Just had an awesome dumpster score- found some 4x4 clear, tight-grained
: cypress posts in the dumpster. Will go perfect with the 16' cypress lumber
: I already bought. I just need ribs, and I think I may have something that
: will do for that.

Gulp! Does it have an automatic rolling mechanism or do I have to learn while I am there? What about long-toothed sharks, gars, makos, hungry other things, jelly fish...I'm a curious guy and sometimes that gets me into trouble. 20 miles sounds great. Best leave Linda at home to chat with Amie, she won't go out that far out on open water but I sure will.

Good on the scavenging thing. I got my forms out to build Glen Smiths Shorty, a 12-ft stripper design that he sent me a few years ago (pre-divorce). I aim to mount the forms and get into the stripping act over the winter. I am sure I will be scavenging wood as well. Best teach me your dumpster diving skills, I think I will need them.
