I am more or less retired already, so I have time available to play. Good thing considering how long it it taking for me to build this kayak... :)

I was born in Ontario and spent a lot of time fishing in the great lakes when I was a kid. Bicycles and fishing poles were the summer holiday tools of choice. The yellow perch were in serious trouble when our school closed for the summer. :) I also did some summer work over there in early university days, and part of the work was along the shores of Lake Superior on southern Manitoulin Island. Pretty country, if a bit flat compared to my home now.

Best regards,

Allan Edie
