just bought plans for my next build

[dale]

And no, it's not a big project.  I'm not ready for a major project right now though I'm chomping at the bit to do one.  I need to be sure what I really want before I tackle somethng major.

But since I'm eager to build something, I've decided to build a simple canoe.  It will fill a niche for us, satisfy an itch for me, will not cost a lot, and not a lot of hassle to do.  I'm going to build a Selway Fisher Wren.  Should be fun to build and even more fun to play around with once finished.

Here's a link to their site:

Eventually I want to do something along the lines of a 12-17' daysailor.  Right now I'm liking the William Garden Tom Cat.

If we ever get freeflowing water back in NE Georgia, maybe we should take your canoe and my dory and ride some of the rivers around here!  Be a lot of fun to toss some camping gear in and float down the Toccoa near Blue Ridge.  I think I will be building my wife a Toto btw.

Pretty neat little craft that Toto.  Hadn't heard of it so I googled and went to a Duckworks site.  I like it.

As for a trip, I'm all for it.  Trouble is - so many places to go and things to do and so little time
