Hi Paul. Sounds like you're having a ball this summer. Looking forward
to seeing you in September. Nice mods! Need to talk to you at Kingston
about them.

The link below should get you to some pictures of the Happy Adventure
scow shanty this summer on the St. Lawrence River, the Rideau and Tay
Rivers all in Ontario, Canada.

The boat has been in the water since the first week of June and we have
been aboard most of the time except when life gets in the way. The
addition of the two sponsons on the stern for offloading of propane and
gasoline have worked out marvelously, well beyond any expectations.
The new ladder and bike rack performed well and are very functional and
odd enough to match the rest of the boat. They add the dimension of
good land travel and a swim anytime, anywhere lifestyle. The new
lightweight dingy is a minimalistic Junebug and is exceptional in looks
and performance as a rowboat, canoe or kayak. The Junebug weighs 60
pounds and cost about $150 CDN to build. All in all this summer of
boating has been a very pleasurable, comfortable experience with many
many inquiries from other boaters and the public.
W e are looking forward to attending the Kingston Messabout hosted by
Bruce Hector on the 7th, 8th and 9th at Kingston mills Ontario.
Bruce is an excellent host and a true Bolger Fan and I look forward to
some spirited discussion on my proposed bow enhancement for the Happy
Adventure to add 300 pounds of actual flotation and the same amount of
reserve bouyancy plus make the boat look more "Tug Like". Anny and all
comments will be welcomed.

The boat has been in the water since the first week of June and we have
been aboard most of the time except when life gets in the way. The
addition of the two sponsons on the stern for offloading of propane and
gasoline have worked out marvelously, well beyond any expectations.
The new ladder and bike rack performed well and are very functional and
odd enough to match the rest of the boat. They add the dimension of
good land travel and a swim anytime, anywhere lifestyle. The new

Bruce is an excellent host and a true Bolger Fan and I look forward to
some spirited discussion on my proposed bow enhancement for the Happy
Adventure to add 300 pounds of actual flotation and the same amount of
reserve bouyancy plus make the boat look more "Tug Like". Anny and all
