Boat quote
You do not set out to build a boat because either the building or the boat is practical. you do it because the activity itself is pleasurable, and in the doing you make yourself and your life better. The boat is a bonus. Enjoy it to the fullest.
- George Putz, in “Wood and Canvas Kayak Building”

I have this quote posted on my OFFICE door to remind me that I am only here to support my other passions in life!
Like many others, I am living vicariously through your boat school adventure… Keep up the good work!

I’ve only just discovered your blog, but am reading with some interest. Myself, I’ve just decided that, at nearly 40, I’d enter a boat design course and embark on something completely different to my daily life to this point (anthropology and linguistics). The quote above is perfect — I just have to put “design” in there rather than “build”
