I actually am a professional boat builder by trade. I cannot tell you how PROUD your achievement is...you already know!
For what it is worth I have put together a couple of multi-million dollar power-cruisers...but never put togrther so much as a canoe for myself.

Mtnmun, Jude this boat was built on Happy Valley Road off of Branciforte.
David Wilson, Joe and his family go between Aukland NZ and Fiji during the year and even come to Santa Cruz.

Great job in the most beautiful of boat building mediums, wood.
Here's an interesting story about building a sailboat and then camping out on the ocean for 1152 days non-stop:

Also a great solo, around the world race due to start in a few weeks:

On a climbing note; the chest harness sailors use is terrible. They need to go to some sort of seat harness, like in climbing.

Funny that this thread should pop up. I was thinking about it in terms of its title. Keith Richards has just published an autobiography, and apparently in it he reveals what the song Ruby Tuesday is really about. Or at least what he can remember of it, 40+ years later.

Add me to the list of the amazed Joe - I'd bet a lot of us think about doing something like this but less than 1% have the skill, drive, money and smarts to pull it off.
You did.... wow, congrats. Thanks for sharing the story too.

I was speechless when I first read this. Still am.
Great story that stands up with time. Wonder how much it cost in scratch and time. ....?
