Boatique

Paddling Delaware and the eastern shore of Maryland and Virginia

 

 

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.

The wife says I can't build another boat until I get rid of some. (:-(

 

Greg Welker sailing away in the Jenny Wren
Sweet Pea learning from Margaret Killen.  Margaret and her husband Ray teach kayaking at Katabasis  (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.
