Brian, I can see the appeal for sure. There’s a Wooden Boat Society not far from me and they have a workshop for the use of members. Maybe one day …

Or maybe he’d build one for you Ernie for all those times you want to anchor. 
Wow … a FREE dinghy … and then I could anchor. Wow … Anchoring and eating prosciutto. Yum. How very Canadian, eh !!!

PS - Betcha he’d build one heck of a lovely little boat, too.
Sure! Absolutely! I’ll just add it to the list of other woodworking projects and boat projects, and the missus’ “honey-do” list, and that pile of books I’ve been meaning to read, and that novel I was going to write…
How’s that old saying go? “I have so many things to do that I’ll have to live forever to get to them all!”
Can’t say I’d turn down an opportunity to come work in the PNW for a few months, though. Beautiful country.

Brian -
You must be retired (like me). There is truth to the expression “I am so busy these days. How did I ever find the time to go to work ??”.

I retired from the forces several years ago, but like the hobbits, “I’ve had one retirement, but what about second retirements?”
