My friend David came to visit and helped me laminate the final, top-most “sheer” string in place… we’re ready for planking! But we built a George Dyson baidarka years ago, and my son is twelve and wants to go on an overnight paddle with me to Blake Island, so I had to clean it up and give it a new coat of paint. We had black and white, so why not paint it in orca pattern? Reminds me of the lovely children’s book “Davy’s Dream” where a kid sails his Lightning class sailboat and is rescued by orcas.
Final stringers, and a killer whale in the shop!
