Ted, Please, don't feel guilty, I am very pleased you enjoy the boat. I am pleased to be able to build a new boat and look forward to getting it in the water. I was hoping to begin January 1st but I need a break for a few weeks. So I hope to start in February. I will make it to the Mess-about this year. I hope to see you there.

That is a really nice and very pink boat. Do you remember the ratio of whit to read? I was thinking of doing the exact same thing, perhaps with a little yellow to give it an orangy hint. Please tell me what you can. Once again it is very nice to see all the responses. I haven't even done anything. Thanks to all.

Hello to all. This has been a very warm re-welcome, so thank you very much! The boat will be Pink. There are a lot of things I hope to do better on this boat. But what I find is that I can often conceive of an idea but just can't make it come out right. I'll do my best. I'm building a second boat because my wife and I found that we really miss Avocet. We felt very comfortable in the boat; we could relax. Most of our boats have had bird names. The photo below is my daughter. She works with Spoonbills in the Everglades. She said I could use the photo as long as I stated that she works for Audubon and has all the appropriate clearances and licenses to be holding the bird below. The bird world is sensitive. This fledgling had fallen from the nest and was dangerously cold. Probably way more information than you wanted.. Anyway, who wouldn't want a pink boat!

Assembly begins January 1st 2024
