Konrad in Lincoln Posted September 2, 2005 Report Share Posted September 2, 2005 Most of you will not remember "Mike in Lincoln", but he posted here from time to time, about 4 years ago. Here's the short version of my connection with Mike: He came up to me 5 yrs ago while I was out at the lake and liked my boat. He bought plans and started to build. I moved to the east coast, took the boat with. Soon quit the east coast job and came back to Nebraska. Mike got me a job at the architecture firm we're both at. Fast forward 4 years. My boat has been slowly showing it's age from use and storage since I completed it in 1999, but Mike never finished his boat. It just sat in his garage all that time. For reasons I can't explain, him and his whiff got motivated over the last 8 weeks and have actually completed their boat!! They're going to launch it this weekend at Conestoga Lake in Lincoln, NE. I recommended it because it's small and never has a crowd of people. During your luanch day, the last thing you need is a line of pee-d off fisherman staring at you on the boat ramp while you deal with first-timer issues (and those of you sailing ALL know what I'm talking about). Anyway, like I said, Mike doesn't post here anymore. But it's always fun to hear about a launching, so when I get more facts and photos, I'll be back. Probably early next week. Cheers!

Mike Pennington Posted September 4, 2005 Report Share Posted September 4, 2005 Ah yes, the boat building virus may lay dormant, but there is no real cure. 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
