Built canoes and kayaks before. Thinking a little sailing rig would be fun, along with oars of course. Knowing me, I'll probably build a couple of dinks.Sixbearshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15572224383041421400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1937170202895477126.post-32599741296975107732011-04-26T04:18:55.426-04:002011-04-26T04:18:55.426-04:00Don't feel alone Mayb.

Slips are expensive !<br /><br />Bear..Plywood's okay, just make sure to cover the bottom with a layer of glass. V it a little or it will really pound. Plus it will track better behind the big boat.Spudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00689059709873763146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1937170202895477126.post-70250257951279134582011-04-25T21:07:29.087-04:002011-04-25T21:07:29.087-04:00Sailing really is a magical experience.

Getting materials together. Not sure what the future will bring, but can always use a good dink. <br /><br />Thanks for the invite. <br /><br />The Okechobie would work great for me. <br /><br />This past winter we spent a lot of time chatching up with dad, so we did a lot of daysailing in the Gulf. <br /><br />Plan on doing longer and longer trips during the spring and summer, working up to a ICW run.Sixbearshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15572224383041421400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1937170202895477126.post-35912570109382584932011-04-25T16:49:07.096-04:002011-04-25T16:49:07.096-04:00Get a dink good buddy, and a hard one at that.

Not some piece of crap inflatable.<br />The intracoastal waterway is quite the experience, to be done at least once in ur life.<br />When ya get to Melbourne, we can give ya a room at the hotel any old time. Free for you and yours of course.<br />Ya gotta do that trip thru the Okechobie to Ft.Meyers, I've done it 5 times and loved it each and every time.<br />Just hope we all make it to next spring, so ya'll can do it again...Spudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00689059709873763146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1937170202895477126.post-44178325782757313242011-04-25T09:52:00.812-04:002011-04-25T09:52:00.812-04:00Seriously looking at taking the Inland waterways d...Seriously looking at taking the Inland waterways down.Sixbearshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15572224383041421400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1937170202895477126.post-33991844648366398992011-04-25T08:26:30.922-04:002011-04-25T08:26:30.922-04:00You could always sail south instead of driving wit...You could always sail south instead of driving with the boat on a trailer.
