            I thought that you might enjoy seeing the website 
                of a new adventure race to be held in Michigan - June of 2011. 
                Therre is both an outside (Great Lakes) and inside (Au Sable and 
                Manistee rivers with portages) course. This could be one tough 
                bugger of an event!

              Here is a video about Alberto and his Paradox 
                – someday, computers may be able to translate speech, but 
                for now it is in Spanish. The video is quite entertaining, though.

              My dream of building boats recently became my 
                 addiction. 
                I have started a blog to share progress with my projects and my 
                solutions to the various problems I encounter. I have included 
                a link to your website on my blog as a resource I have enjoyed. 
                If you think your readers would enjoy seeing my blog, I would 
                be glad to have you add it to you links page.

            I admire Hugh Horton's Bufflehead 
                very much. I came across this web site about building Bufflehead 
                and using her. The pages on safety, using just the correct amount 
                of internal buoyancy tubes and how to recover her from capsize 
                are valuable to all Bufflehead builders and canoe sailors. Brian

            #79, Gordita, 
                was immolated in the annual Coots boat euthanasia celebration 
                yesterday. My ideas of what a Puddle Duck Racer should be changed 
                while I was building Gordita, and I never finished her. May she 
                rest in peace... JetMan Dan's (with a video of the ignition!)

            There is a relatively new boat named the "Newt" 
                from Jordan Wood Boats in Oregon that I am going to be building. 
                My website is: https://buildingnewt.blogspot.com/ Information about 
                the boat design can be found here.

             Following on from the great three men in a boat story, here's three men
              in another boat. It's the story of Griff's own yacht on a trip along the 
            south coast of the UK. Very funny and great viewing.   It's in two episodes.
            Then there's the follow up to that that, Three men in more than one boat.   Benjy  |

            I have a brother-in-law who was rather badly burned by some burning oil some years back (he seems to be fully recovered, but it was not pretty for a while). As a result, I have a healthy respect for hot liquids. I successfully got the lead poured this afternoon. The pour was uneventful; it is such a relief to have this potentially hazardous job DONE!
