This week, I had the pleasure of going out to Monhegan Island with a group from the University of Minnesota and Mr. Kerr. It was a wonderful trip. I learned a lot about Rockwell Kent and we were able to tour his home that he built and his studio. The hope is that this will lead to a project involving a short jaunt to Greenland where Mr. Kent spent some time living.
We also learned that Kent was a vegetarian. This is the first glimmer of hope I've heard in reference to my diet and the arctic.
In kayak news, I spent the day yesterday making my paddle and bending the hoop. Tomorrow, we'll bend the hope flange and sew it on in hopes of being able to skin the boats next weekend. We're in a big push to try and launch them before I leave for the summer. We'll see if that happens.
