    Sabalo build log

    In one picture, it looks like a flst bottom, but witt a pair of panelstipped upwards going crossways. It puts a crossways ridge across the middle of the bottom? In the two pictures dated 20210924, the left hand shot. Probably a trick of the light?

    Sabalo build log

    Ohh! there’s nearly always a “second attempt”. I quit building after my third “second attempt”. Others are still attempting. sigh

    Sabalo build log

    I like the looks of the work you did. I’m interested in the convex bottom. Why is the bottom shaped like that? Seems like it would add to drag?

    Sabalo build log

    The bottom looks plumb and straight, so you got the geometry goog. The variegated color is interesting.

    Oops! I looked at only the first picture. Disregard last transmission. Yes, hanging fiberglass is tricky business. But the outside is easier than the inside. But only tje floor is important to be glassed. If you glass partway up the insides, lay the boat up on one side at a time. When...

    Right there, it looks like there might be a longitudinal twist in the hull. It is critical to have everything straight BEFORE you apply any epoxy. Do your instructions mention the height of the formers? Do they mention positioning the formers and wired-on skin assembly upside down on leveled...

    GARLICKY GOLDEN TURMERIC RICE

    A friend of mine was a grilling guru. He loved charcoal and meat. One end of his deck had been made into a spice cupboard. An area about 10’ wide by 6’ high had shelves every 6”. Big doors hinged out to open the cupboards. He stocked it, and left stuff in there year round. He had at least a...

    GARLICKY GOLDEN TURMERIC RICE

    I’ve done versions of this before. Very good. And, pretty good for you. Garlic and turmeric are two of the spices that are good for you.

    The Hidden Treasure of Kayak Jack??

    You’reright. When I travel, it’s from one Cracker Barrel to the next. Two years ago, I was visiting Colorado. Had to fast for six days! (Except for ice cream. I hadn’t been sure that they had even heard of ice cream in Colorado!)

    The Hidden Treasure of Kayak Jack??

    Ahh, my compadre, it’s much simpler than that. The treasure is time and activities shared. Coffee, a hamburg, stories, advice, ice cream (especially ice cream), trips, events, camaraderie. Pretty much the formula. I will believe the fishing stories that I hear, and you’ll believe the war...

    Tales from the Log of the Ruptured Duck

    BTW, some pilots who own some antique aircraft, are flying birds over 80 years old. And, when the folks get done with a Trimotor, it flies out! Major components like engines and main landing gears are taken from other Trimotors. Almost every other piece, they can make. There has to be a...

    On the morning of 20 November, I’m going on a field visit back into history. A group that I belong to, the Antique Aircraft Association, will be touring a privately owned aircraft rehabilitation facility in south-central Michigan. There, they rehab Ford Trimotors. They even make the...

    Tales from the Log of the Ruptured Duck

    I’ve started to scout areas to ride to and/or ride in next spring. In some areas, we will ride to and through areas, hitting points of interest. Other areas, we could either ride the motorcycles along back roads to get there, or trailer them if the back roads take too long. If we traier, we...

    Pythons , Gators , Bears & Jungle Hammocks

    Florida has six kinds of snakes - four of’em will kill you with a bite; the other two just eat you whole. On the other hand, the Great Lakes have no salt, no tides, no sharks, no typhoons, no crocs or gators. Scratching my head here, trying to figure the least-worst locale. No! No! Don’t...
