Thread: Building a Storer Rowboat

Wandering's good! That's what gives this forum the element of discussion I reckon.

Specially when there's no boatbuilding happening!

P

Mate,

Stay tuned,

bout to start on a 16.5' solo, wilderness tripping canoe.

i don't go into the wilderness much but I really like the lines and am feeling the need for an epoxy fix.

Hmm, another month gone, and I'm sitting here with a bung arm!

You know those ads about Sun Cancer? Gee they cut a big lump out of your shoulder if they find one!

Another week or two before I'm allowed to lift stuff with it apparently.

Roll on mid February!

P

I've been to the Doc this morning, and the shoulder's good, and I'm clear to do stuff again!

I might even build some bulkheads over the weekend.

It's not as though I've been idle, I've completely updated the PDRacer website, the Goat Island Skiff One, and pretty much finished the new Eureka Canoe one as well.

I'll even get the rowboat one online in week or two, but it won't be worth much till the things finished!

Cheers,

P

Peter,

Sorry to hear about your being layed up. You didn't say that was why you suddenly had time to do all the website work. Congrats on the recovery. So then... you'll have the boat done by the end of the month? Can't wait to hear the rowing report.

Cheers,
David Graybeal

Is it the end of the month already?

My gosh - how did that happen?

Howdy all - just a note - Peter hasn't been able to do much because the shoulder problem became quite serious. So he has been on light duties only while it heals. The thread will be continued!

Thanks Dadds!

Bloody Eureka Canoe! It's there taking up a car space in my garage, and the row boat bits are stacked against another wall... to say I'm going a bit stir crazy would be a reasonable understatment, but having a long history of not taking medical advice, this time I thought I would!

It'll probably be a few more weeks before I can be a bit productive I think, so you'll just have to wait!

Sad thing is that even if I could finish either boat, I wouldn't be able to use them!

Note to file: Don't leave any bits of paper on the floor of the shed if you think you might slip over on them!

Cheers,

P

That's what happened is it? Bummer. Look after it, shoulders are one joint you don't want mucking you about.

Especially if you want to do any rowing!!

Get well soon, Midge

He's not unwell. He is just a very naughty boy

(maybe it is time for a trip up north?)

Well someone has to build the boat and Midge is ... well ... 'unwell'.

Bring the bits back here and I'll put it together for you I'll even fix all Midge's mistakes

Richard

It's just as well Noah didn't take after Midge

Then again, Arthur Ransome wrote that Noah was the only boatbuilder who ever finished a job on time!!!!
