Thanks Mark,

The whole family will be at SSTIKS again. I think, I'll bring the Night Heron, as I am leading the kid's track, and will want the durability of it. I built it for rock gardens and surf, so it shoul handle kids. Also, I'll be bringing the Micro Sea Fleas as loaners, so that puts it at six kayaks on my roof.

I understand slow building, I have a Redfish Spring Run in my basement that has had a 1/2 stripped hull for many years. In the past year, Ive, built a patio with one-man rock, built a custom fence, put in six raised bed gardens and tended them, built four greenhouses (in the pic, below) over them, and started building a playhouse for (and with) my kids. I've also rebuilt my Yamaha's top end twice, and tried not to neglect my family or job during all of this.

It is crunch time now for the Kidarkas, to have them ready for SSTIKS.

Sadie wants to learn to roll at SSTIKS this year, but her time will be limited, because she has a violin recital on friday night, so she will miss friday afternnon, and maybe part of saturday morning.

See you there.
Mike
