Here’s What Richard Has to Say…
“Today was the first day of sea trials for Winnisimmet and Honcho. It was overcast, with drizzle and a cold east wind, but Emily, Christopher, Captain Elvin, Rugs and Captain Papi took the two canoes out for their maiden voyages. Initial reports were nothing but praise for the ease of paddling, turning and great stability. Even Captain Elvin who been known for an unsuccessful Eskimo roll in the kayak was impressed. Captain Papi even stood up and did a n Irish jig while the canoe was underway. We’re looking forward to seeing everyone at the “official” christening and launching on Fathers Day, June 17th.” — Richard Honan, Honan Boatbuilding
