Winter 2011: Teaching kayak building on Orcas Island

Skin on Frame kayaks orcas island
During the dark months of each year I need to secure employment to get me through the lean times between December and April.   With my unheatable shop hovering at an energy sapping 30 degrees,  this usually means travel. This winter I landed a gig building with some friends up on Orcas Island.  Here's a few photos I took along the way.

Special thanks to David for the bread recipe,

to Larry for showing me you are never to old to learn to roll a kayak,

to Shawna and Leon for feeding me a nearly intravenous supply of beer,

and most of all to Wendy for making me breakfast in the mornings.
