I just spent a "wild and crazy" Easter Weekend with Cory Freeman of
Spiritline Kayaks at Anacortes. Some of you may know that Cory leads people
through the process of building a baidarka in a week or two of intensive
labor (Lew Plummer, an often participant here built his first boat with
Cory).
In the process of "skinning out" my homebuilt baidarka at his shop he
mentioned this gathering he is sponsoring this summer, August 29 and 30 at
Bowman Bay. He is hoping to get 100 to 150 skinboats together of many
types. He will be putting the word out through magazines and the internet,
but suggested I mention it here. I might just go. A gathering of skinboat
builders will not be boring. Keep it in mind!
My boat turned out great, by the way, and only awaits shrinking the 10 0z.
nylon and coating with urethane. It sits shiny white in the garage.
