1946 Peterborough restoration Update:

I went over to canoe dude's garage last weekend and we completed a very important part of the restoration: canvasing the canoe. It was a great learning experience and I am glad I could help.

This is what it looked like after he added the new seats and completed coating it with double boiled linseed oil.






Now the fun begins:

Zak and I saw a least bittern in Algonquin last summer. I thought we were fortunate to be able to see it because it was so camouflaged. It may be the last time we see one.
