It's November 3rd -- November 3rd! And where were we today? On the lake! No one can say that the Sea Clamp isn't hardy.We took Yasmil out this afternoon, a sort of blustery one at first, but we found some still spots that were good for drifting. Yasmil took to rowing right away. She has a nice gentle way with the oars that's perfect for such a little boat. It was a day for cider, for sure, but so nice to be out on the water and have it virtually to ourselves -- just a couple fishing boats and a kayak or two.
With each of these autumn rides, I keep saying this to myself, but this time I think it's true: that's the last voyage for the Sea Clamp this year. We packed it away in Sarah's garage for the winter. There was talk of turning it into some kind of ice boat, but I think we'll just wait for summer...

Your friend is named tv de lcd? Highly dubious. Anyway I wanted to ask, why is your boat named the Sea Clamp? Also, I highly recommend the documentary "Deep Water." Watch it on land though! -Amar
Deep Water is very good, we agree! Our friend and boat-building mentor, Chris, recommended it. We have never regretted his expert advice -- on anything.
I suppose we should explain about the name: Sea Clamp is a pun (sadly? happily?) on c-clamps, which we used a lot of to build the boat. Sarah came up with the name "The Clamps" on a rainy afternoon in the basement, planing the seats and chiseling the gunwales. We were trying to think of band names to give us a break from trying to think of boat names. From "The Clamps" is was a pretty short jump to "The Sea Clamp".
