Ignoble Miscreant
Crawling around the dock at the West Mooring Basin here in Astoria. I just liked the color and shapes. It is the tug Shaver.

1914 Kennebec canoe. It is showing its history. When I restored it I carefully kept the signs of early outboard use. The motor mount marked the gunnel aft of the rear seat and the exhaust of the engine blackened and charred the gunnel and seat frame

In the late 80's I got very involved in kayaks and particularly in baidarkas from the Aleutian Islands. i built several, some following the plans and materials George Dyson used in his book "Baidarka", and some modified to my own whims. This one was to a 25 foot long Dyson three hole plan, but instead of aluminum tubing I used laminated wood stringers and ribs with Kevlar cross bracing. When completed and rigged it weighed only 100 pounds, so I could handle it myself out of the water. We took it all over the Maine coast and inland and I even had it out in Lake Superior in Wisconsin. I had to build my own trailer for it. I eventually sold it to someone from NYC who was going to use it on the Hudson. I wish I had a picture of that.

This Baidarka was for my wife and was my own adaptation of a Hudson Bay retrieval kayak with baidarka touches in the bow and stern. It was builtusing Dyson materials of aluminum tubing, and hypalon covered nylon. I did put a wood coaming on it. This one weighed 22 pounds and I still have it.
