intersting . . . wonder if the grand canyon skywalk or this came first in thought . . . chicken or the egg . . .

I don't know how practical it would be for cruising, but the kids would love it! You'd have to stow it on deck though - couldn't bottom paint...

Maybe it could double as a hard dodger? :D

New name Mike, or have I not been paying attention to details enough?

[mbd]

Yup, it's new. The first one I threw out to the family that resonated and everyone liked. We collected a bunch of sea glass last Summer on vacation. Hopefully she's on her way now to becoming a family member!

Just for you, Mike, to help celebrate a great name:

The genius is the guy in the blue shirt in a mall - amazing!!!


If you click on the too precious duo in the small box and go on to the next page, you'll see his table setup in the small boxes on the right. He's wearing a checked shirt there for the best rendition of the Nat'l Anthem you'll ever hear. A new name does require a little flag waving.

A prototype for a threepart nesting canoe, one you can keep "unobtrusively in the corner of your living room..." Notice the innovative springclamp connectors.

Thanks Ebb. Now that it's been properly ceremoinialized, I just need to get out there with my heat gun and make the unnaming phase "official".
