Brian

I can help out one or both days. I can bring 3 sets of horses, tools, extension cords, cordless drills, etc. Let me know what's needed.

Thanks Gerry, that would be great! All of the above would be useful, as it's beginning to look like we're going to have a packed house.

I would really like to get in on the workshop as well, if space is still available.

I'd like to do the foam bulkhead thing, if possible.

Count me in. I will want to add a fiberglass knee tube and access hatch to mz new Viviane.

Spain was fabulous. Skiing in Davos is good, but more snow is needed, badlz. That z was due this european kezboard, Not mz tzping abilitz.

No problem either way.

Brian,

May I be on the list please? Right now I'm just thinking about just beading the bungies and possibly a knee tube.

You're on the list, Jill. Do you have a knee tube to install in the boat? I'll need some details as to how it needs to be mounted, unless you already have all the supplies you need.

[Brian Nystrom]

You were already on the list (thanks to Richard), Liz. Do you have a Kajak Sport knee tube for the boat? I'll need some details as to how it needs to be mounted, unless you already have all the supplies you need.

Hi Brian,

I would like to come again and take more pics and get more ideas. This time I will arrive in the morning!!

Liz,

I spoke with Phil Wong at Kajak Sport. He indicated that they make three versions of their Mini Day Hatch (knee tube) to fit the three boats they sell. If you haven't already done so, make sure you order the one that's specifically designed for the Vivianne. He also indicated that it can be installed with a sealant rather than epoxy and fiberglass, which makes things much simpler. It sounds like all we'll need to do is clean and lightly sand the mating surfaces, then bond it in place with Lexel, GOOP or 3M Fast Cure 4200/5200. It will need to be wedged in place while the sealant cures (a good use for a paddle float), but if we install it on Sat., it should be OK by Sunday. It should be a piece o' cake.

[Brian Nystrom]

You're quite welcome to attend again, Mary. Actually, I'd like to take a look at some of the photos you have from the first session so we can put something together for the web site.

Hi Brian,

I'd like to come to the workshop. I'm not sure what I want to do to my boat or even if I want to do anything right now but I'd like to check out some of the possibilities and other peoples' ideas!

I do not have a printer at this point but would be glad to email you jpg files. You could point out what you would like to have, I have a big memory card and will bring an extra battery.

I'd like to get an idea of who is going to attend on which day(s) and at approximately what time(s), so I can make sure space will not be an issue. I'm not limiting anyone at this point and I doubt that will be necessary. I would also like to know how many boats you plan to bring.

Where possible, I've filled in some details in advance, based on posts and emails. Please review them and advise me of any changes.
