> Is the rendezvous you guys are talking about the Wooden Kayak Festival at Fort Worden?

Yep. I know, it's a pretty long drive for you Olympic Peninsula guys! ;)

I have RV reservations for Aug. 18/19/20 on the beach, I'll be there, my wife and my dog but I'm not too sure about this strip built. It's a long way off but seems like there's a lot to do on it. Maybe. Thanks again. Ray

If you want to have it done before then, you will have to chain yourself to the workbench, and keep the ol' nose to the grindstone, even if the sun is shining! I know from personal experience that progress on my '18 slowed down significantly in March-April when it got nice on the weekends and I decided to paddle kayaks, rather than build kayaks!
