A Turkey and a Dream











As with all projects, there is a momentous moment that defines the start. This one happened to involve Thanksgiving and the anual Turkey Cook Off. Mine on the right was cooked in the conventional Trash Can approach, while my brother opted to use the indoor appliance more commonly known as the Maytag Oven. The verdict is still pending with the committee. Once the tetracyclin had settled into the muscles and brain, a great idea was born to build the Cedar Strip Canoe.
Dear old Dad was in town and offered to let us use his brand new Retirement Van (Honda Odessy) to transport the long boards (18 feet). This special moment involving the Thanksgiving "Man Outing" was fun and enjoyable.
Thus the 7 month process had begun.
