This weekend we started building our canoe with Roger Foster at Carlisle Canoe Company!
The sun was shining and it was chilly, but O so pretty at Roger's forested place in Freelton.
We are very pleased at the progress we made in about 9 hours of work. Our canoe is on the mold and we are adding strips of Western Red Cedar one by one. It's very interesting to experience how it is put together along with the artistry and alignment of the wood as it's put on. When it's done, one might see a whale's eye or an arrow or two! :)
We also thoroughly enjoyed the fact that there are 3 bakery/cafes in the vicinity and won't mind that one bit on weekends to come!
Hope everyone is staying warm and well and keep watching for updates on our canoe!
