Catching up

Ave everyone,
 
I need to take a moment and welcome all our new members, the ones I missed recently.  I apologize for not responding to you individually but it's been a little hectic here.  I'll not list you all because my old, addled brain would miss someone and I have no wish to offend.
 
Welcome to all of you, let us know what you're working on (even if you're just collecting ideas; that's part of the process).  Check out our Resources, ask questions, share your experiences and, above all, have fun.
 
Pax vobiscum,
Rick

Ahoy!

I am a "new" member here, although I joined up over a week ago. I tried replying to a thread via email, but it never got posted.

Anyway, My name is Matthew, and I live in the Wilmington area of North Carolina. I have been into boating for most of my life. The boats I have had are a 1976 Correct Craft Ski Tique, which I loved dearly but sadly had to sell ( Its still in the family though) when I moved to NC from CA, and the Mitch Craft 516 SportFish CC that I currently have for fishing on the ICW. I have purchased a set of plans from BoatPlansOnline.com for a PK-78 dinghy. I plan to use it as a first build project and a sailing refresher boat. I don't have the wood purchased yet, but thanks to my recent marriage I have begun to acquire a nice bunch of tools as gifts! Hopefully I can get started on the PK-78 soon and start planning another build afterwards. Merten's P21 sure looks like a winner, but I would love to have a classic type catboat...

Just daydreaming about boats,
Matthew

Canal Boat Build

CanalBoat3's member project pages have been created.
 
This is one awesome project. Way to Go CB!!! Stop in and check the progress on CanalBoat3's build. There are 30 pics per page and more to come. They may take a bit of time for you dial-ups but well worth it.
 
 
CB, 
 
Great job on editing and uplaoding those pics. Made things a lot easier for me. Thanks...
 
If you could, verify the accuracy of information on the member page. Check to see if the pics are in the proper order. Your home port is Dayton, as in Ohio correct? We're ready for more of them pics. Any suggestions as to make it better? Want to add additional description info?
Thanks again,
 
Kruez

MORE PICTURES

Just uploaded more pictures of JEZEBEL II. Photos 042-087 are the new stuff.

Construction Photos

I just uploaded some of the early pictures in the life of JEZEBEL II. Don't mind the pink addition to the barn as it was only the primer.
I do need some help with access to the group from 2 different e-mail address. Is there a way to add additional e-mail address to my account so as when at home I can sign on and upload more pictures.
Thanks for the help.
