: Elliott,
: Looks great, And judging by that stripper canoe in your other pics,
: your yak is gonna be beautiful. I like your efforts to match your color
: symetry left and right.

: Bright sunshine today (and -6F) so I pulled my GE out in the yard today.
: Wanting to let the UV darken up a freshly sanded patch of wood, before I
: glass it. Decided to add a little flare to the bow section for lift and
: turn carving. Besides I just like reversed curves.

: In any case, it looks great sitting next to the igloo. In combination, I feel
: like I'm back in Greenland. My daughter's and I slept out in the igloo
: last night (had it up to 68 degrees in side) after snow shoing. Found a
: snow shoe hare in the fir trees yesterday so the whole visual is kind of
: complete. Gotta get that scanner thumbed up.

: Enjoy that project. And if its cold as breezes where you are put a rag in
: that hole in that window. Brrrrr IT makes me cold just looking at it. :D

Russ, There is a board on the outside of the window. Dont want any looky-lou's seeing something they may need you know. By the sounds of it I live at the equator compared to you. It was a balmy 15 deg farenheit here in upstate NY. With wind gusts to 20 miles an hr. BUt thanks for your help and comments. Take a look at the 17 foot micmac photo album on photo point to see what we do in the winter around here.
Cheers, Elliott
