A pair of canoes...

This is a pair of Prospector canoes, built for a friend , in exchange for what may well be a lifetime supply of cedar. Sheane made and sold strips at one time and I am the lucky recipient of the last of his cedar stock. There is literally a truckload of old growth cedar boards, some 20 plus feet long, dead clear; that he got years ago from local sawyers. He is pleased with the boats which are going to his kids, and I can hardly wait to build with the amazing wood!

I love the west coast! This is February, the middle of winter, and I am out in my boat at least once a week!  The other boat in the video is Peter's new clc Oxford Shell.

The boat is back on the dock after my row yesterday. We had a break in the wind and rain yesterday afternoon and again today, and I seized the chance to get out on the water both days. Tracks are recorded on Map My Tracks under oysterbayboats.
I have 16nm year to date!

 I have been recording my rowing on "Map My Tracks" and you can see my progress and sometimes lack of it at https://www.mapmytracks.com/oysterbayboats
I have been working harder to extend my range and increase my average speed.

"Fine" hull number 6 launched in Edmonton.

I'm rowing hull number 6 on Telford Lake  near Edmonton. It's a nice little lake, with a great low dock specifically made for rowing shells and other human powered watercraft. My friends Mary and Steve are taking this boat to their cottage in the Pembroke area, look for her on the Ottawa river with a border collie and labradoodle on board. The light weight of this boat made the trip east on the roof of their car no problem.

Love living on the BC coast....

It is so great to be able to row year-round! I was out last week and tried out the little camera that I ordered from China. I'll have to play around with the setting and the mount, but it's cool to be able to share the view from the boat. The creaking sound you hear is the seat rack rubbing against the hull. I'll have to put some felt pads down to quiet  it. Like the sound of the water past the hull though.

I started the new year with a row in "Fine" number 1. I haven't been out for a couple of weeks, but I have my boat down on the dock again, and it was beautiful this afternoon so off I went. You can look at my row here.
