Thread: Texas 200 RAID and Wooden Boat Show at Mystic CT - Storerboats

I had a great time at the WoodenBoat Show at Mystic, Connecticut! Not only did I get to meet MIK, Clint, Paul, and Christophe, but I also oogled over Clint's and Paul's Goats, which was my primary reason for attending. Thanks Gents for making the event memorable!

Here are some pics for the GIS community. There are many more photos of these and other boats in my latest blog post (linked in my signature). For the individuals concerned, full resolution versions are available there. Please feel free to download for your pleasure. If you do happen to repost the images, I'd ask that you credit the photographer, Rick LaFontaine, because he puts great effort into his work.


"G'day mate!"


MIK, Dave, and Dave's Dad, Hernan

Paul's Goat: very shiny!


Paul, I have a few more shots in my blog post...


Now THAT's a wooden boat!!!

Come out next year and see me on display!!!

Dave, your brother's photos make my boat look great. All I have are the pics I took with my crummy little point-and-shoot. I will definitely be in touch about getting some hi-res copies from you and/or him. Thanks!

You heard it here first folks! Dave has instituted a deadline to his build!

Tic Toc Tic Toc The pressure's on now, Dave.

Sincerely,

So, if I volunteer in the Family Boat Building tent next year, whose team would I be on? Clint's, because he's a fellow Goat builder? Duckworks', because they've helped me with my GIS? Or the CT "home team"? Sounds like this could cause trouble.

Dave, do not turn pro, or you'll never finish your Goat! Trust me....

Paulie, Christophe and I are both from CT originally, so we're already sort of like the home team! Best of both worlds.

Ok then! If you want my help next year, I'm yours.

At least there would be a decent excuse. No, I meant I'd fill the space (but certainly not the shoes) left by Paulie in the Built It Myself display.

I wish I could join Team CT (-ish) but if I'm not displaying my own Goat, I'll be joining my family under the tent building a canoe for my dad. But I could just keep following Paul and lend a hand the year after he does.
