Huffler - now there's an occupation to have on your business card!

Great picture

[AJZimm]

I can hardly wait to find out if you escaped the main channel and made it back!

Enjoying this Bruce and waiting for more.

I don't recognize the underwater flowers you feature in the picture but many years ago on a kayak...

My "What's New" automatic search excludes The Bilge. Not sure what setting I tweaked to make that happen, but it clearly is possible. Maybe...

From my one somewhat-dimly-recalled visit to that museum years ago, those pilot boats met ships outside the Columbia River bar to guide them in across...

No one has yet commented on John Welsford's Penguin. I've never built one or owned one but I have had a good look over one in the flesh, as it were. I...

Please do let us know when you start building and of course we'd love to see pictures.

Bernadette, you started this thread with a question about how to best level the boat in the new shed with a dirt floor, but it seems to me that what you...

Merlin, glad to hear about the continuing adventures of Fire-Drake. You seem to be using the boat exactly as she was designed for. I look forward to hearing...

I was very excited to see this arrive in the mail yesterday, along with instructions on how to perform the secret handshake that initiates one into the...

Wayne,
Last year after the festival I watched Mike un-step the mast on Jean Alden with the slick rig he built that is attached to the trailer. Lots...

Tom, See my post number 34. I used to leave oarlocks in, too, but a comment by Ben Fuller years ago about someone slipping and falling on an oarlock...

Between a flat calm, sunny morning rowing away from Hartley Bay, and a late afternoon force 6 downpour chasing me into Butedale, I had a delightful mid-day...

I carried pretty much what you list, with the addition of a few more things. My boats were stitch and glue marine ply, so some of the following may not...

I have also used my Luci as an anchor light. I am surprised your Luci light only lasts 3 hours. I typically leave mine on the deck all day to charge and...

I used these, from Innovative Lighting Inc, on my sail and oar boats. This is a picture of the bow lights and they also make an all-round white light....
