A fleet of wooden kayaksHow many different materials do we make kayaks out of? Skin-on-frame, fibreglass, kevlar, plastic, wood. And, there are as many people who prefer one over the other. The Inuit didn't have these choices.
On Sunday past Paul remarked that the group of 8 had a majority of wooden kayaks - 3 strippers and 2 stitch and glue. That doesn't happen very often. It think it was Paul also who noted that if we got stranded we wouldn't have far to look for fire wood. *lol*
This picture also reminds me of a Crosby, Stills and Nash song "Wooden Ships". Here's the chorus (if you're not as old as I am!)
Wooden ship on the water, very free, and easy
Easy, the you know its supposed to be
Silver people on the shoreline, let us be
Talkin' 'bout very free, and easy.
Tony :-)
