In Response To: I think I'm gonna make it... (Val Wann)

: I'm finally beginning to believe that I may have my boat (mostly) finished in
: time for R2K1! Might even have time to slap a little varnish and paint on
: to protect from UV. Won't have the compass mount or foot bilge pump
: installed, but at least it should be paddleable.

: I had made camping reservations a while back, so I'll be in the campground
: (probably have space to share, by the way).

: I also plan on taking a few days after to poke about the area. I've never
: been up to that neck o' the woods (water?) before. I'm hoping to connect
: with an outfitter/guide or someone who can show me some pleasant day
: paddles in the general area. Any suggestions, or shall I just count on
: making connections at the Rendezvous?

: Looking forward to meeting some of you folk. And I'll try not to cringe too
: much at my ugly duckling next to the swans many of you will have there.

Hey Val

Not to worry. I may be just a bit short of a complete boat as well, but will be there. We'll just park side by side. Your Ugly duckling and My Tank!! When the destruction derby starts, just stay behind me. :) Painting her now, but have to make my rub-rails, seats, floatation bags, inner cockpit rim ( decorative: to hide the canvas/staples ) and finish the floorboards. It will be close... :) See Ya There.

( Oh Yeh, and I'm building a couple of paddles )
