Tell you what. I'll race you to completion of the hull stringers, then I
give up. You'll probably still beat me.

Got my keelson all scarfed and lashed, tailpiece shaped. She's got a
backbone now. It's amazing how strong the lashed keelson is. It looks a lot
like a boat now. I sure wish it could swim

Anyone know what happened to Eric Von Kleist? He was building the family of
baidarkas and was posting regularly, then he just vanished without a trace.
I tried to email him and it bounced back. Maybe he got canned for using his
work email account for baidarka too often. ;-)

Well, I'll use his signature file then. That ought to wake him up if he's
lurking.

In memory of Eric, one of the many baidarka builders throughout the ages
who vanished before completion:

We pray for one last landing
On the globe that gave us birth,
To rest our eyes on the fleecy skies
And the cool green hills of Earth.
