Wooboto on the Delta
Steve Chambers commissioned Jim Michalak to design Wooboto and built the first one. He did not have much sailing experience but an invitation to Gunkhole 2008 solved that.

The Texas 200 in Pictures - Part 1
A lot of pictures were taken on the Texas200 so I just organized them into a kind of narrative account of the event. I even threw in a few video clips. Tomorrow, Part 2.

If you have a tiny fraction of the pleasure going through these pictures as I did putting them together you should have a pretty good time. Great memories!

Flathead Lake Wooden Boat Regatta
Last year, Mike Hillis attended a messabout on remote Flathead Lake in Montana. It turned out to be a pretty good one so he filed this report - with some really interesting pictures.
