            |  | Joining the Modern Era. In an attempt 
                to join the modern era of communication I have started a blog 
                dealing with issues of boat building so I invite any and all responses.

            |  | Here are some 
                stills, my boat is the little red and yellow one, 
                seen from many angles! Dave Farmer |

            |  | Does a 48-day voyage in an open boat with only 
                25 days' worth of rations sound like your idea of an adventure?

            |  | I thought your members might enjoy this item of 
                leisure boating history from a British 
                Pathe Pictorial of 1955. In Britain, in the days 
                before TV ruled, Pathe newsreels were an essential part of any 
                cinema programme. Cheers Deek |  
           
            |  | Check out this video 
                of our klub outing last w-end just east of Montreal. 
                These guys are the hottest of the hot up here. On a couple of 
                shots these guys are surfing with not a care in the world above 
                Class IV drops. I hate to admit it but the only canoe that dumped 
                in the run and had a wet exit was me. However I feel redeemed 
                in that they are in there 30 s and younger and I hit 50 this year.

            |  | Anybody here speak Castilian? If you do, you'll 
                be in a better position than most of us to enjoy this short documentary 
                about Ben 
                Crawshaw and his Light Trow named Onawind Blue! I'm amazed and dumbfounded by it all, naturally... Gav  |

                minute film. Carl |  
           
            |  | When I built my last boat I found it very helpful 
                to have a collection of other builds to look at, and in turn there 
                seemed to be some interest in mine, so I'll include a link here 
                to my Flickr navigator set in case my humble efforts could be 
                of use to other Navigator 
                builders here. It's not a big set yet because I only started a few weeks ago, 
                but it will grow! Rob  |  
           
            |  | Not exactly small boat stuff... But if you're anything like me 
                you are a bit of a dreamer and pine for that lush tropical island 
                just off the stern, the crystal clear turquoise blue water in 
                the lagoon and that cheap bottle of rum.
 Here's two to wet that whistle! One

                waste too much time! Leo |

                a new (free) review of 9 small sailing tris now posted on my website, 
                written in my rather typical 'direct approach' ;-) Go to www.smalltrimarandesign.com Happy boating !mike

            |  | Two Ducks had their shake down cruises yesterday 
                in Bastrop @ NorthShore Park. One of them was mine T.I.A.B #398 
                and the other was Lezlie Henson"s Iduck. Mine is a modified 
                Shorty Simple 18 and her's is a Storer Oz. Just thought I'd let 
                you know of the latest Ducky Adventures...  Kevin M. Allison |  
           
            |  |   Have you found another site for the boat show? 
                Chuck check 
                out this site...very nice and he did a great article 
                about Pandion.
 Thanks,

            |  | Thought I'd catch up after finishing my Waller 
                540. The Waller was a great success, incidentally- 
                although a bit of a handful when I'm alone. Here's 
                a link to some videos. Regards, Rob Ditterich
