Hi Jack,

Nice job--I especially like the sheer accent strip.

Shawn

: After almost a year, I finally got my Guillemot in to water this weekend at
: the Cold Spring Craft of Craft Festivel. The Festival was a beautiful day,
: we had 25 boats ranging from 6-hour canoes to kayaks, sprint boats and 2
: Whitehall gigs.
: Our Blessing of the Fleet gave us an opportunity to reflect on the events of
: the week and gave all of us a needed spiritual lift.
: Thanks also to Eric Schade, who came with 3 boats and family and showed us
: what kind of craftmanship is possible in our boats.

: A link to some pictures taken by Mo Fridlich:

: As far as the Guillemot goes, I loved it! It is quite frisky, but that's
: exactly what I wanted in this boat, It rolls sweetly and once I got the
: real seat in the next day it is quite snug and confortable.

: When I get a picture of it, I'll post it.

: Many thanks to all on this list, for your free sharing of your ideas and
: talents as well as your support in the last week.
