Hi Randy,
Good observation of getting private messages. When I hit just "REPLY" only
your address comes up. Using "REPLY TO ALL" and then deleting the personal
ones would keep everyone in the loop in the group.
I am building (or attempting to) in the manor you are inquiring. Between
work, traveling, building on the farm (equivalent to the 2 children in
college ?) ... I've been crawling along. It'd be great to have someone to
challenge/motivate me.
I live in Clinton, Arkansas and you sail on Clinton Lake.
To your health,
Rob

Thanks Greg,
I think you are right about the "I built that" factor. I am looking for a
project, and really want it to be a Swift Solo. I have been contemplating
building a strip-built canoe. But the problem is, I'm a sailor.
List Business - I couldn't help noticing that everyone sent me a private
message. Is the list address unreliable? Just seems odd.
Randy
