This year keeps up with the tradition. Despite the rainy weather, this weekend looks promising. Hopefully I'll be able to get a glimpse of this lovely little boat:
I'm also looking forward to the soggy weather. It'll give me a chance to brew a new batch of beer without any guilt. I'm very much looking forward to having 3 gallons of heather ale (fraoch) to myself.
I didn't know Scamp was going to be there. You might even be able to go out on a sail on her. I'm going tomorrow (saturday) - hope it doesn't rain. Looks like there will be lots to see this year!
ReplyDeleteNice, Joel!! I'll be there tomorrow too- hope to see you there. If you see a pudgy blond in a blue raincoat freaking out over the SCAMP, be sure to say hello!
ReplyDeleteHello Julie,
ReplyDeleteI just ordered my Scamp plans from Duckworks today. So stoked! Is your hull number #131 I thought I read that in a previous post on this blog? Wishingbee kind of helped me to finally choose a design after more than a year of thinking. I dont move very fast as cognitive thought is still a challenge for me. 3 gallons of homemade beer sounds painful. Stay dry. Florida was just pounded last week.

Yup, Rio is #131.
ReplyDeleteThat's wonderful, Arthur! I'm so excited for you! Be sure to harass Small Craft Advisor for your build manual PDF. It really has helped me- as I lofted each piece, I would look up how it gets attached to the boat and its function. It's been a real asset for me, even at this beginning stage of the build. It helps me visualize just how everything gets put together.
Don't worry, it'll take me at least a few months to work through those three gallons!
So was last week's weather inspiration for building a boat? Sounds like you'll need some sort of floating vehicle for to handle your soggy weather conditions!
