I've just put a youtube video up on my website and on the blog. It shows my oldest two boys (Geoffrey and David) sailing in the very oldLazy E that Dave bought a while back. It shows how much fun you can have with an old plywood boat.

Just returned from a boat camping trip from Lake Rotoroa, a very beautiful alpine lake in New Zealand's South Island. You could hardly feel the air on your face at times, and as I ghosted up to the jetty, I heard floating across the water "Wow, look at that!", followed by "Oh yeah, that's funny, I didn't think there was enough wind to sail in today". Any idea which one owned the fizz boat!?! Rob |

Here's a couple more sites. One is Curt Bowman's trip in the Carolinas and the other is for you total nut cases who like to go off in little boats. I have to admit that these Jitterbug adventures are good. John Depa writes a good story. Jitterbug stories AND Curt Bowman.

WOW! Check out the attached clip from YouTube. I'd often wondered if something like that could be done. While I wondered, somebody did it. Beats hell out of my old Snipe.

| I really like John Vigors blog. This one about reading about sailing is good and I agree totally as I have saved my boat a few times from remembering things I read.
