Okoume Stock, that's
Sweet Pea paddling past the onlookers. It's special to build a
wooden boat and talk to others about it. It's very special to share
information with other wooden boat builders. It's most special to
build a boat for your daughter.
Loving her new boat
Learning some Greenland stroke techniques from Mark Rodgers
of Superior
Kayaks. Also learning from Mark what Daddy should exactly do to make her
paddle better. Mark is a craftsman, I listened closely. Shortly
after this picture was taken Sweet Pea learned how far her boat would lean,
and how to swim with a kayak attached. After a hot shower and lunch we left
to return to Delaware and a Philly's game that night.
This boat is for sale, contact delmarvakayak@comcast.net
The wife says I can't build another boat until I get rid of some. (:-(

Sweet Pea learning from Margaret Killen.
Margaret and her husband Ray teach kayaking at

(Obviously skilled at site design too.)
Obe Dan Kayakobe imparts the power of the Force.
Armed with his Euro water saber Roland prepares to enter the world of the
paddling elite. The Jet-bye Kayakers.
Newly empowered, Rolling Roland completes one of
many successful rolls. Darth Bliven and the evil empire will be no
match this race season. RR claims to have been holding back last year, but with
new skills and "the force", he will be an even greater force to battle.
RR
feels he can now become aggressive in his paddling.
Charlie's boat was in dry dock for refurbishing.
A CLC Patuxent 19.5, it was built by a local boat Captain, and now Charlie
is giving it good use as a race boat.
