I just got back from teaching the Build a Strip-Planked Kayak and Canoe Class at Connecticut Valley School of Woodworking. There were six in the class so we just built the Night Heron. But John, Peggy, Becca, Laurie, Tom, and Mike did a great job.
Every year, kayak enthusiasts from all over come together at Bluff Point State Park in Groton, Connecticut, for a free and open event. It’s a great place to learn about different kayak designs and techniques, and it’s perfect for beginners and even those who are just starting to paddle.
