Bit by the Y2K Bug

Well that did it. Now I’ve got the Y2K bug.

Currently I’ve got the forms cut out for a Guillemot “L” but at my current rate (still finishing 2 cedar strip canoes) I won’t have the kayak done till 2002+. Lucky for me, I attended the Wood Boat Rendezvous in Port Townsend and saw Mike Hanks Greenland Skin & Frame kayaks. After listening to his spiel on Skin/Frame I’ve decided to just do it and make one.

So tomorrow I’m going into the shop and start my first Skin/Frame kayak. When its done I’m going to take a Saturday off work and spend a day with the South Sound Wooden Sea Kayak Club.

Guess some bugs are worth getting.

These pictures are not mine. They're Ted’s that he just posted. Hope you don’t mind Ted. That’s Mike in Boats 5 standing amongst his three boats.
