Thanks for the info, Steve. That's exactly the kind of practical information I'm looking for. And of course, I don't mind you posting pix. But it looks like you missed a protocol or 2 ! Here's my fool proof method. No typing, just right clicking and selecting. (in FireFox) Right click...

VERY nice work, btw. I like your funky slat on your seat!

Belly Buster, See the dark wooden ring on the pilot's left side?

Hey Y'all, I've got Walter following the thread. But you may have noticed, I'm the talkative one of the two of us! I hope I haven't barged in on the He-Man Woman Haters Club. Mick, Just to show how much I've been lurking, I thought of you on AZNAC day! But I wasn't registered...

BearRidge! Now that I know not to type the "i" in Maudie I found more on her. I forwarded Walter the dog picture and he immediately new her. He's right fond of both her's and Bill's work. Greetings Hairy Mick! Fine boats you've got there! And fine lady too! Almost as fine as me :wink...

BearRidge, I asked my WalterBuck about Eggleston and Maudie Clay. He's real familiar with Eggleston's work but has never met him personally. And I reckon they are cut from the same cloth re artistic asthetic - finding beauty and mystery in the ordinary and familiar. Walter doesn't do...

Glad to meet you Steve! That pod idea sounds very interesting. You'll have to let me know how that turns out. And how it is towing. I'm curious to know about the design. Will it be like a wee kayak that comes apart laterally or what? I was thinking of building or rigging some kind of water...

If us women in Alabama didn't keep up our strength for boat toting and such than all progress would stop come football season! :) And honestly, if I don't pull my own weight than I'm less likely to trick the Mister into my crazy schemes. It's one thing to talk a man into helping you out or...

There's always some toting involved (unless you live on the water). From the garage to the truck. From the truck to the creek, which isn't always close. Now I can pick up a 50# sack of dog food, throw it over my shoulder and tote it from the truck to the porch. But I don't like to. I'm in...

Lovely boat, SeedTick. Does that seat slide off? Well, by your definition we may be talking about a skiff. I'm torn but I wondered whether we'd have cause to use a trolling motor. And the transom would accommodate that easily. I've seen some on this forum where the builder took a foot or two...

BearRidge, my Walter would not have moved to digital 'cept his job required it. He used to think of himself as a "purist" and he defined purist as traditional. Actually, that's how we became acquainted. Someone had to teach him how to use the computer and photoshop. And that someone was me...

While I'm being so yakative... I should tell y'all a little more about myself. I'm a middle aged tomboy with a fine college aged son (eagle scout and great hole digger) and a real good husband. We don't hunt or fish but we love the outdoors. Bird watching, hiking, gardening (hence the need...

BearRidge, that yakima site has exactly what I think we need. I like the steel rectangular frame that attaches to the truck. There's a guy at work with one that he totes his kayak on. It looks very sound and sensible.

What paddles do we normally use? Generally we go tandem and use single paddles. But the the last few time I spend a good part of the trip envious of our companion with his kayak paddle. ClareNancy

Wow! You guys are fast! Thanks for the hearty welcome and the invaluable advice. My husband uses a "crawl under the blanket camera" too. He does regular photography for the local university but his own personal art photography is usually large format contact photography. Sounds like...

Hey Y'all! I've been lurking in this pirogue forum for a while now and I've about convinced my husband that a cajun canoe is exactly what we need. Trouble is, I'm having a hard time picturing the size boat we need. Or maybe we need two. Help me out, guys. Here's the deal. My husband is...
