My Boat.

[greenstorm]

Courtesy of my mom, I'll be participating in the Wooden Boat Festival in August with my family and anyone who wants to come help (25th-28th, it's gonna be a crazy weekend with the LARP in there too).

At the end of it, I'll have a 12-foot Bevin's Skiff which can be converted to sail. It will be *mine*. My boat.

This is pretty amazing.

The only catch? Mom wants to name her the 'Chunky Dory'. Juggler laughed at that so hard.

My boat.

The fireworks were lovely, we went in the Zodiac and anchored.

You know, there's enough room in the skiff to sleep, if one wanted to?

So much for any update, I'm off in daydream-land. A boat! One that you could fit a bunch of people in, or two people and camping stuff, and just go... and I get to make it with my hands out of wood-- well, marine ply, but wood.

Wow.
