I figure the storm will pass. its winter and most are locked on land.
so politics seems a way to vent.
I am just getting a couple SOF kayaks and one SOF skiff ready to
build. and lofting a 30 foot sampan also to start building before the
spring hits. not much going on here in oregon at the moment as far as
cruising.
*mostly sitting by the fire and working on projects to long sitting.

Ambious my webfoot friend !! What does SOF stand for?
The ice has finaly melted and my boat is finally free. That should
give you a hint where I am. What can i say: $325/ YEAR for a slip on
the river!?!?!? I have a few 2/0 wires to run then a little deck rebed
when the temp gets high enough for the epoxy to kick off. Then back to
a coastal slip.

But that will have to wait til my return. Im off to a quaint little
cajun village called Morgan City in 10 days. Argg! Maybe I should get
one of those SPOT things so everyone here knows where I am and then i
can make 3000 word posts describing the RV park in Galliano,
LA ............. uhhh, not!

So you at Haden Island or other ptown nooks? Have fun with you
projects and remember to keep a lookout for those guys with the Keep
Portland Wierd bumper sticker !

SOF is skin on frame. most of the teaching i do is how to build these
lovely ultralite boats. he he he i am up in the hills and thanking my
luck i no longer have to report to morgan or fuchon or houston or in
any way have involvement in the achafilya basin. I feel better and am
not stressed out as i was. it was good to work the slope as a
decompression but its better to be done with the whole lot of oil
patch jobs. have fun on your six

Alas, my boat is on the hard, a few hundred yards away from water that is
equally non-liquid. Everything here is under anywhere from several inches
to several feet of snow, with the earliest possible sailing still at least
three months hence.

Toying with trolls isn't quite a substitution for sailing, but it'll do in
a pinch.



Yeah, I noticed you're replying to every single bs troll you can find.
Thanks for nothing. By doing this, you're doing exactly what they want,
which is to eliminate any reasonable dialog about sailing of which they know
little. Take it somewhere else.

The problem, dear Brutus, is that when participating in troll threads
goes to the excesses it has lately, many of the people you hope to
converse with about sailing in the spring will have left PERMANENTLY.
All that will be left will be you, Jon, and a much higher percentage
of trolls, who will have settled in for the long haul.


Point taken. I shall endeavor to restrain my impulses.



Thanks!! You won't regret it.

Where are you? My boat is in a similar situation, though only about five
meters from the frozen waters of Deadmans Bay, at CFB Kingston.

Just got back from the boat.. all is in good shape. Replaced the alternator
belt, which was stretched to the limit of the adjusting arm. I kept the old
one, but I'm not sure it's good even for a spare.

Just throw it out...and get another new one for a spare...no sense
putting an old worn out one on in an emergency situation...and I can't
think of any alternate uses for a worn out alternator belt...

That's my feeling as well.. I'm just loath to throw things out. It doesn't
really fit any more anyway.

Jon, for heavens sake throw the thing away and buy a new one if you want a
spare

Oh, I was at the Woodboat Museum at the south end of lake union last
summer. There was a huge one there all traditional and native. looked
like one of the Makah whalers.

How many seals did you figure youll have to club to cover one of your
boats?

range
