HI to all my wonderful friends; I have been watching this forum for the last few days, It breaks my heart to see this wonderful forum go silent, My absence was due to my wife developing a brain tumor and passing Nov 2017, I was her 24/7 nurse and caregiver, I will be 90 in Sept this year so building and paddling is pretty much out of the question for me, BUT, I'm sure there are boats being built that have a small glitch that needs help, any question no matter how small or insignificant is welcome, If we don't keep questions on going Nick will have to shut this forum down, And I'm sure you all know what a blow to kayaking and building that will be. So come on let's hear from you. With great respect Nick R. PS; this may sound hokey to some but it's from my heart.
