North Alaska Replica Kayak Frame Build, Day 13. We spent the day carving the peaked and arched deck beams while listening to Bing Crosby and Frank Sinatra on this lovely 78 degree late August day.
For some unknown reason my phone has started playing the Bing Crosby Pandora channel at completely random intervals, so this time I pulled out the Bluetooth speaker and just went with it, quietly accumulating shavings and sawdust, sipping soda water and occasionally sharing terse but meaningful insights such as:
“Somehow this feels like appropriate music for a massive heart attack. You can picture it right?”
Tom- “Yeah, or maybe a Quentin Tarantino style bloodbath.”
More silence, more shavings, the occasional chocolate chip cookie, and at the end of it all of our deck beams finished and fitted. There are definitely worse things a person could do for a living.
