G'day from Ecuador

Not that I'm always here, but the fam and I are taking a year to live in another culture, learn another language, boat and fish in new waters. So there being a shortage of good boats here, I'm planning to build one or two. Was ready to build Storer's Quick Canoe, but my son nixed that, wants a stable fishing platform. Maybe the Handy Punt, maybe Michalak's Jon Jr. Wanting a quick and inexpensive boat.
Years ago built a cedar strip canoe, still in good use after 35 years! That's back home in Wisconsin, USA. Have a nearly completed plywood kayak in the basement there, interrupted by this trip south.
Sailed quite a bit when young, mostly one-designs but big boats on the Great Lakes also. Was a racer, now a cruiser. Thinking of the GIS once we're back home (and the kayak's done), I have a mate there who'd also like one so we could have a building party.
Enough for now. I've enjoyed reading these forums for a month or so, now I look forward to posting my questions.
Fair winds, Jerry

Thanks fellows. I've enjoyed the sense of humor that is very active among posters here. Must be an Oz thing.

I like to think it is a humor thing. We all have it, some just like to hide it.
