Since we are in the depths of winter, some of you may be building your own Goat Island Skiff and dreaming big dreams of open water and fair winds. Of salt on your lips, sun in your eyes, trailing a wake of phosphorescence through the seas of summer. Fear not intrepid reader and intrepid builder-- our rock hurtles forward to the coming warm season. Your sawdust on the floor will tomorrow be the dust of yesterday and you too will be sailing!
In the meantime, I have just realized I have quite a library of pictures that document the building of the Goat Island Skiff and my own subsequent adventures. If you would like to peruse my photobank please see my Goat Island Skiff Amateur Style Gallery hosted on Picasa.
I hope it helps you, intrepid reader, to stave off the dark and the cold, and offers guidance for those first time boatbuilders.
