Re: knottyBuoyz III The TW28 Project
Hi Rick,
Oh man, the patience
This is a huge boat project and you and Lori are still plowing along. I hope this season is productive.
If I ever drive down the east 401, I will make sure to stop and visit.
Keep plugging away

p.s. retirement from DND in a year or so. Big step tho and still debating but having Penny at the dock right in front of the house kind of makes me itchy to just hand in the release papers and work part time for a while.

Rick looking good you are moving along! I think I have gone through about 3 computers and bought and sold CL OD18 had hip replacement surgery as well as shoulder replacement surgery. Keep on going along and you will be launching in no time. Do you have a g eneral launch date end of 23 of 24 or 25? High quality building takes time.

I think we could have it in the water in a couple of years. That's optomistic. We're hoping for a much better year this year. I've got my temporary woodshop which helps, means I can start earlier in the year building out the internal furnishings and work a bit later into the season. Thanks for looking in.
Yours Aye! Rick

Hey Folks
Lori and I have put together a video scrapbook of the very early days of our boat building adventure. A lot of this stuff I had totally forgotten about. This is just one of the ways we spend our long dark nights up here in the Great Frozen North. There'll be a few more coming soon that'll take us up to about the point where we started posting videos on YouTube. So follow us along on our walk down memory lane.

It was a lot of fun looking back that far.
Enjoy! Cheers!
