Congratulations, boatbuilders! The Box of Rain team finished up their Sassafras 16 last weekend, after a winter of work and learning. Good job, everyone. That's one handsome canoe and we're proud of you. It's almost warm enough for the first launch!...

Local Maryland friends, if you want a chance to see a demonstration of some "best practices" for brightwork and painting, accompanied by a little entertaining discourse, come by Fawcett Boat Supplies at 7 p.m. tomorrow and catch John's act!.
