I am super excited today as it is the 100th Episode of HOWB! I can’t believe I have been doing this for almost 2 years Time has flown by and I am having more fun than ever. The other big news this week: I am publishing my first eBook on August 15th, 2013 – Get in the Wooden Boat Game: A Guide for Building Your First Boat. Today’s special 100th episode includes an interview with Henry LePage and an interview with Cliff Ravenscraft. Henry LePage is 8 years old and lives in Chappaqua, New York. Henry has had his own hand tools and enjoyed woodworking and boating for as long as he can remember. Last year Henry got a hankering to have his own boat – one he could handle by himself. For his 7th birthday, his parents gave him a boatbuilding book – Ultra Simple Boat Building by Gavin Atkin. He plied through the book and settled on building the 11ʹ 6ʺ Poorboy Skiff. With the help of his father and grandfather, Henry completed the skiff – Miss Arcadia II – and launched her in the St Lawrence River on September 1, 2012. Congrats Henry!!! Henry dreams of joining the US Coast Guard some day. His boat was pictured in the Launching section of Issue 230 of WoodenBoat Magazine and in the Getting Started in Boats section of Issue 232 of WoodenBoat Magazine. The second interview is with Cliff Ravenscraft – The Podcast Answer Man. I began listening to Cliff’s weekly Podcast in 2009. Cliff inspired me to start my own podcast, and after 2 years of pondering my next move, I took Cliffs online Podcasting AtoZ course in September 2011. (If you take this amazing course, use the discount code “Boats” and you will get a significant discount). As a result of Cliff’s encouragement, support, and technical prowess, I launched the Weekly HookedOnWoodenBoats Podcast September 22, 2011. In the podcast interview today, Cliff and I have a fun time reminiscing about how I got the podcast off the ground and recount how Cliff at first thought I was going to podcast about “Wooden Boots” ------------------------------------------------ You can contact me at [email protected] to share you comments, feedback, stories, and wooden boat adventures.
