We all see some beautiful sights on our various runs, walks, bikes, paddleboards, kayaks, canoes, horses, mastodons. Here’s a thread where we can share some of these special places.

    This is the view from the cockpit of my kayak heading south down the main lake in Kejimkujic National Park.

    What a beautiful looking kayak?! I have a cheap little plastic recreational kayak. Where did you find it?

    He didn't find it... he built it himself... I am so jealous of his wicked woodworking skills!!

    I'm super impressed. Farback is quite the master craftsman. Kudos, Sir!

    I'm speechless! That's amazing. It really is beautiful. It looks really long. How does it track? Great, I'm guessing. How long to build and did you go by a plan or pattern? (When I show this pic to my brother he may get the bug to build one!)

    Thanks very much. This one is my personal boat after making several for family members. One of these strip boats generally can be done in 150 hours or so, but I've got 300 hours into this one. Five different hardwoods, two types of cedar, carbon fiber cockpit and coamig rim, lots of extra touches. It's 17'6" long, ocean capable and tea is like a dream. This one is my own design using KayakFoundry software.

    Put him in touch with me if he’s interested in building. There’s a community of builders on this forum
    http://www.kayakforum.com/cgi-bin/Building/index.cgi

    And that forum’s owner sells plans for a number of styles, great guy and very helpful.

    Thanks for the links, farback. Brother is not retired yet, so that may be a lofty goal for him. I told him if he starts now, he couldd finish mine before Christmas?! :D It's fun to look at the plans and the different styles. Works of art!

    Look at that beautiful sky! (I sure hope it's a riding mower!) Ocala is beautiful, isn't it?
    I wish I could figure how to upload pictures here.....(tech challenged.)

    The snow pictures are beautiful, but I'm sure glad I don't live in it!

    Wow. Neat picture. I did a raft trip once on the Nantahalla river in Tenessee while working in SC. Great experience.
