Nicely done Andrew, I must say I would never paint my boat that color. Unless I was going to grass it up for duck hunting. But it looks build for paddling which is the point, so who cares what color

Can you do that, Jove. Won't they chop off you hand, or some other valuable part, for sharing photos with outsiders? ;o) https://groups.io/g/oregoncoots/album?id=0 -- John

Ok, I'm inclined to move the float from Elk City to Friday, Nov. 5th, or a two day affair with the float downriver starting late on Saturday (only a little later than this year, and we'll be going
