Weekend Boat Fun
Well, we decided to take a weekend off from our continued cleaning and actually enjoy the park. It was great to see a lot of people out there with their kids and dogs Saturday morning enjoying Lucas Park.
When I was Luke's age my Great Uncle Fred Hartman built a boat from scratch and used to take me out to the lake to sail it around. I kept the boat and named Luke after him (Lukas Hartman Martello) because I thought he was a great inspiration in my life. He taught me how to hunt, fish, make things from scratch, etc. A wonderful time when I was a kid. I thought it would be great to take Luke out and float the ol' boat around.
So to that end he had a great time and enjoyed it thoroughly. I got a lot of positive comments on the boat, and a lot of people were really surprised that it wasn't a kit, but that it was hand built from scratch by an old carpenter.
Here are some pictures:
