Hi Folks, We've racked up quite a few trips around here and thought posting them may be helpful to someone. Most of the time we follow 'urban' creeks and rivers inland getting as close to the source as we can, but there are several popular destinations in the list as well. I've noticed how...

Add me to the list of folks saying thanks for sharing this build. Very interesting design and it's always neat to see new materials put to work. I learned from it and enjoyed it too. Thanks.

Solving the Snoring Problem The guys are all at a deer camp. No one wants to room with Bob, because he snores so badly. They decide it isn’t fair to make one of them stay with him the whole time, so they vote to take turns. The first guy sleeps with Bob and comes to breakfast the next morning...

Very nice looking boat Roger! Also thanks for posting pictures and the reports. When I deliver the new duck to my nephew there's gonna be an empty space in the shop and I've been thinking about a rec/light touring boat. We love the Wood Ducks in the skinny creeks but are starting to look at more...

Thanks Fellas, Jack you're spot on about the white bottom. My hull is white and we put the graphite/epoxy mix on Robins, Figured we would compare how they wear over time. we paddle together all the time and consistently fish spook closer to mine. Even the gator gars that scare you into...

West sure has a loyal and knowledgeable customer base and granted that counts for something but I'll go on record as not being in the group. I used it for one build and wasn't impressed enough to justify the cost. I'm not bashing it - it's good stuff, just not that good. I'm surprised that...

Good try Jack! I have her done and the varnish FINALLY got hard enough to move her outside for some decent pictures. This is the first time I've used spar varnish by Rustoleum. It's pretty thick stuff and they say don't thin it. It will skin at a decent pace but don't be in a hurry for the...

You have mu attention, nice lines. Hope you'll be posting pics of the build?

" beekeeper PS; Watch out for geezers claiming to be long lost nephews." That's good!

Morning Folks, I'm in the middle of building a yak for my nephew. He lives in Richmond Va. and I'm a bit south in Jax, Fl. so I thought I'd do a blog so he can check in on the progress. He's a great kid, all about hiking, fishing, hockey, camping and even makes the honor roll at school...

Hey Folks, I stumbled across a nice trick for raising the acidity level in store bought vinegar while looking for safe weed killer and thought there may be others who use vinegar as a solvent for epoxy that might like to know. Apparently there is an 'agricultural' grade of vinegar out there...
