A measly two so far, a baidarka and a Disko Bay replica. I expect to build
an East Greenland rep. this winter and maybe finish the folding baidarka I
started last year and maybe throw in a kid Greenlander if I have time. I've
also been scanning the want ads for a used Romany 16 or Nordcapp HM, and I
can think of at least a dozen more that I really need. The prognosis is not
very good...I once owned 15 motorcycles and only stopped because I ran out
of dry storage.
Regards,
Phil
