Back on the “block”

Posted on April 11, 2009

Was it writers block or busy doing other things? I believe it’s a bit of both.

Anyway I am back on the block after a sabbatical lasting a few months.

I really like this word “sabbatical” as it translates with “Forshungsurlaub”

in German, which really means a vacation of studies and research !Well, this is

exactly what I have been up to ever since bailing out the water from my flooded

workshop.

Never short of work been commissioned to build model canoes of Oceania, I

also spent much time and effort building up my photo albums on Flickr.com and

Picasa.com. Both albums are similar in content and run under the username <hawaiiancanoes> Most recent photos do illustrate 2 very beautiful surfing canoes

and a Samoan one man fishing canoe been auctioned at Niketown in Waikiki.

The Hawaiian canoes were quite old, carved out of Koa tree logs.
