My good buddy David Porter came by for a visit to look at the boat. We had a good yarn about boatbuilding and about the Tiki in particular. David is a naval architect who lives and practices (he's getting pretty good after fifteen or so years!) on the "Rock" also known as Newfoundland. It happened he was out in Victoria so he dropped down. He didn't stay long enough for me to put him to work but we did manage to stay up late drinking beer and talking boats. I think he's a convert, he kept asking when we were going sailing!
