I was there last year. The kids had a great time! Spent an enjoyable
time paddling, swimming and camping. Getting geared up for this years
event - put together a 12' Uncle John's pirogue for my 11 year old
son (a good size for a 140lb kid, way too small for a 140lb kid and a
larger dad - lol). Also put together a tiny pram for my 5 year old to
row or paddle. The tiny pram rows much better than paddles, it kind
of zig zags along - but it DOES float. Now in the stages of trying to
figure out how to transport 3 boats (also have a hybrid kayak).

I have several sets of plans for Bolger designs. A man can never have too many sets of plans.
Just wish I had enough years left to built all of them :)


Cordially yours,
