I put most of the finishing touches on a 4' rowboat for Eliza this week and we took it out for a maiden voyage to Lake May - a small body of water in Fairfield. The boat plans are called "Peapod" and were free from Hannu's Boatyard on the internet. I built a rather stripped down version, but it floats and rows quite nicely. Eliza wants to call her boat "Thex" - we still need to paint the name on.
I plan to build one last boat next summer - probably something from the "Mouse" family of boats by Gavin Atkin. Then I'll be done. Really.
