Our oldest son Noah is a junior at the College of the Atlantic and he is planning a long backpacking / canoe trip for his senior project. To get ready for that adventure he has been building a strip canoe. Yesterday Argy and I went to Bar Harbor to help place the last few strips. While he is a long way from being finished it is pretty amazing to see the hull completely assembled on the molds. Here we are putting in the last few strips in the bottom.
Over the years I have enjoyed working out of my strip built Grand Lake Canoe when fishing on some local ponds and even on a few long trips on the large lakes up north. I am certain that Noah’s final product will be an attractive boat that will serve him well. Needless to say the parents are pretty proud of his efforts.
