I know it has been way too long since I posted and wanted to give an update on building SV Sojourn.
Truth is there has been no progress made towards building SV Sojourn other than getting a great deal on a small table saw for $30.
Truth is I have been a bit depressed lately. Many reasons. One of my faults is being too honest. I am sitting thinking "What have I got to lose?"
Truth is I realize I don't have the funds to even begin Building SV Sojourn. I suppose in time I will but just not right now. I am leaning towards building this little 15 foot camping catamaran. Once build I can take it to the lake towing it with my car. Even that project will be tough for me to afford but more affordable than a larger project.
So many other reasons for being depressed. Maybe I just need some "Me time" Maybe an escape. Go camping for a bit. Do some gold prospecting on the river.
I won't bore you with all the details in what is causing my depression. Just in a funk I guess. Main thing is I wanted to give a short update.
Other than that, it has been raining a lot here in Colorado. I am higher up in the mountains so not much a problem with flooding like down in the lower elevations.
Fire going and clearly fall is coming. I suspect we will have a very harsh winter. I may be getting a cheap four wheel drive to at least make it easier for me to get to fire calls when having really heavy snow.
That's all for now folks.

Scott,
ReplyDeleteI think the catamaran is a good idea and if you think that may be too much now, then consider a smaller row boat. Not a sail boat, and I understand, but there are some very nice small boats available to build and rowing around on the pristine lakes in Colorado has got to be worth something. Good luck
Thanks Clipper for the positive feedback. I think the too much come from affording a large sop to work in as well as the tools just to get started.
DeleteGranted the Catamaran project I am looking at will require some of the same things but a smaller shop and the particular design uses right angles and such so a simpler build. My thinking it may, (and it is only a maybe at this point) Be a prototype for my ocean cruiser. A bit small mind you but we will see. I have many issues going on now and it really is wearing on my mind.
Lastly, here in Colorado lately one does not need a specific lake to go boating. Water water everywhere. Fortunately I live at 8,700 feet high above those drainage's.
