Just a note to say hello to all on the forum and introduce myself.
I have been away from boats for awhile, but the fever has returned and I'm itching to get on some flat/black water soon.
I am sitting on plans for a Pirogue as well as a Punt. My intentions are to start on the Punt in the next two weeks. The Pirogue will assuredly follow soon after.
One of my other hobbies is colonial history re-enactment and trekking and both craft will serve quite nicely.
The headliner event next year will be participating in the James River Batteaux Festival. Six days on the river, following replica tobacco batteaux should be a lot like playing 18th century Huck Finns.
8)
I hope to soak up some of the collective knowledge of forum members about boat building and adventuring on river and bayou.
Looking forward to meeting some of you on the water some day soon!

I'll tell you about that handle sometime. :wink:
