My God! Another mind as sneaky and devious as mine. Stand by, world - invasion begins in twenty minutes.
I built a canoe for my Granddaughter and me. She's 6 now, and as I age out of it, she ages into it. Her name is Kayla, and I call her my Katie Bug. I glued this into our boat.
the Katie Bug
This craft was built in East Lansing MI in 2002 & 03, by a loving Grandpa (Jack Voss, "Poppa") for a bright eyed, intelligent Granddaughter (Kayla Elisabeth Duby, "Katie").
Katie, may you enjoy using this boat while paddling in the outback, traveling far waters, camping on distant shores, seeing, listening, and learning with Mother Nature. I urge you to observe the stars and galaxies; to watch animals as they live; and to learn about plants. The outdoors is the best place in the world. Make it part of you and your Life.
Seek and earn friends. Learn whom to trust and for what they may and may not be trusted - and whom to not trust. Observe the works of man, and seek to understand them for yourself. Observe the creations of God, and seek to understand them within yourself. Know yourself, and to your own self be true.
I present you with this vessel and with my love for you.
Your loving Poppa.

Good on ys mate, That is looking great.
Just between us, don't tell Matt, but I been looking at that sneaky little eno too. (like I really need another boat )
I think it would do very well for the littleun. . your pirogue should do all you need for solo stuff but ya can never have to many boats.

I was wishing that you would of been happy with the boat when you got a chance to paddle it since you did such a good job making it.
Cheer up it looks like you might have to make another one so you can have some fun. Who knows you might like that next one.
Welcome to the world of fun an good times in the Wood Boat you built. As the ad says , double your pleasure , double your fun , paddle a wood boat that you made.
Looking Good on the water.

Zeb sounds like W.C. Fields when someone asked him how he ever go to drinking so much. He said, " 'Twas a woman who drove me to drink - I never wrote to thank her."
