Our friend Jared spent two years of medical school making a canoe in his rental apartment basement. Hours and hours of labor and love went into this project. He tells the story of realizing in the middle of the night, he wasn’t sure if he could get the canoe out of the basement. Sure enough it didn’t fit through the door. He ended up removing a window!





We took it out during our camping trip last weekend and it’s hard to not just stare at it’s beauty. Everyone around us and their eyes fixed on it. Jared joked that it wasn’t quite the “chick magnet” he envisioned it being. Instead it attracts men 65 years and older. Sure enough as we sat on the beach, an older man made caught sight of the boat and made his way over to talk with “the owner” of the boat. We giggled as we saw this man make conversation about the boat. No ladies made their way over the discuss the boat!!
