Everything described in these pictures is no more.  We had a complete burn-down house fire on April  17.  No house, no cars, no clothes — no boats.  I had just completed the outriggers too, which completed the entire design.  But my wife and I (and puppy) got out in time and are okay.  Things are just things and can be replaced.  All things will be made new!

I’ve got an order in for the new Think Evo II, which has some even sweeter lines than the original Evo.  The fire is a huge setback (obviously) in losing all the required expedition gear, but at least I’ll have a craft again to hit the water this summer.  My H2 got toasted, so I bought a Honda Fit for a quick replacement while we vagabond and figure out how to rebuild.  I love the little thing!  Just the savings on gas for the H2 is going to pay for the Fit.  I’m adding a roof rack.  Putting the  Evo II on top of this little thing is going to look hilarious, however.  I’ll post pictures, once I get it in July, it seems.

It is a different kind of adventure right now.  I miss my boat, but all is good.  It is just a time to stand strong and keep smiling.

Keep the faith!  Keep paddling!
