another day at the farm

[Kayak Jack]

Keith n Seedtick make beautiful wood products. Their shop is like a candy store to me. Even MY sloppy looking wooden boats get compliments from observers, but other wood workers stand in awe at these craft.

(Seedtick, you can mail my $100 now.)

I'm almost speachless! Which for me is saying a lot. Wait doe's that make sense? That thing is beautiful. Absolutely gorgeous! I cant show pics of this boat to my fiance though. She is still amazed at our boat and thinks it the purtyest ever! Lets keep it that way!

[seedtick]

thanks,

here's another we're almost finished with



had it in Piper's front yard today along with several other real pretty boats made by other forum members

check out the other pics from the rendezvous and convince your girlfriend that you have to build more

[catfish]

tick & keith like the other geezers say the boats you guys build are buetiful. like some one said they it is too pretty to paddle maybe look at some where in your living room. you guys are gifted at this. thanks for sharing pics & i don,t remember if you have kids but hopefully you pass it on.

may be if you build an ugly one you could paddle it & not worry about the dings.

Yeah look this keith an Seed pirogue thing is fine. They do build some beautiful Pirogues and fancy motorboats made out of sensational timber they steal from fishes but truth be told they probly ain't got the skills to make a kayak. I mean a pirogue is fine but its only 3/4ths of a kayak so probly a bit beyond them No doubt some doubters might think I just wanna see what they'd do building a real kayak (then sending it over to me for honest to god testing purposes only, say 15' long by 24" wide ) Course they probly wouldn't dare to take the challenge so I guess no one will ever know...
Regards John.

Hey John,

You can fip that kayak trolling bait out in front of me all day long and I just ain't gonna bite it.

About 5 years ago friend keith and i were on a paddling trip on Bayou Lafourche when this guy came flying by in his yak. I thought about building one until i saw that he couldn't get in or out of it without stepping in the water. Well around south Louisiana, stepping in at the water's edge usually means that not only does your feet get wet but you're also in mud at least up to your ankles -sometimes up to your knees. Then those wet muddy feet end up in the boat for the rest of the day.

Now i'm not a clean freak and i've been awful dirty before and i'll be awful dirty again, but paddling around in a yak with muddy feet just doesn't seem like much fun to me

Tick, all you gotta do is pull up to one of them clean gravel banks or nice firm sand bars and just step out.

It's a lot nicer to just run the bow of the boat up on the bank , walk up and step out on firm Terra Firma.
