Congratulations John. The bottom part of the Bantam was wonderful and
with your building experience I can't wait to see the finished
product. Some pictures of "The Pelican" underway would be a blessing
to see instead of the early snow between the shores of the mighty
Ottawa, St. Lawrence and Rideau rivers, which have a skin of ice in
the quiet bays and snow covered banks. Paul Mclellan who has stored
