It was with some sadness that I recently read that Nick Schade had closed his kayak building forum to new posts. In the last few years it had become inundated with spam as Nick had moved on to other endeavours such as joining CLC, making videos, building classes, opening a facebook forum while still continuing Guillemot Kayaks .
However his building forum along with the previous accompanying technique, design, and trips forums were at early times a welcome diversion from my [and some here, I’m sure] hectic lives and provided a refuge of gentle contemplation of the many ways one could put together a wondrous, simple craft out of tiny sticks and then adventure out to who knows or cares where - for simple pleasure and enjoyment.
Hail to its passing, hail to all who contributed over the years.
