At the rate I'm going the Goat will be built in 2020. There is just too much fun stuff to do on the weekends that gets in the way of building. Last weekend was the
West Coast Trailer Sailing Squadron's Cedar Key small boat meet. The only small thing about this affair is the size of the boats. There must have been at least 70 small sailboats, kayaks and UFOs (F for floating). We met a bunch of fascinating people and had a great time. I even passed a tough test when
Mike Leneman, who I had just met, set me up by asking which epoxy I had used to do a repair. Fortunately I answered West System Gflex not realizing that the other gentlemen listening to our conversation was Meade Gougeon Of
West System fame, whew good answer :-) Anyway more boat building to follow soon but for now some piccies from Cedar Key. Oh, and the Canon is still dead so these are from iPhone and an ancient Olympus. Click on the Cedar Key 2009 link under the pictures if you want to see the whole album.
I got a water resistant pouch for the iPhone so we took it out on the water. Below is our GPS track from the iPhone superimposed on Google Earth. MotinX, the $3 GPS app I use, generates a .kmz track file which can automatically be displayed in Google Earth. I just email the track to myself or anyone else and its done. No more forgetting to download your trip track from the Garmin. The track starts on the beach at Cedar Key goes to Atsena Otie island and back to Cedar Key. Then I forgot to turn it off so it logged my walk back to the hotel.
