I found something over at the EVK4 Blog where the blogger did some real sleuthing and contacted the gentleman that emailed the information to the DuckWorks Magazine site. It looks like ‘ol Kristofer J. Harley is planning for the maiden voyage to be the big one! Any guesses? Think he’ll actually go? I’ld also like to take a moment and point out that I am not a particularly superstitious person…but when it comes to the sea and little opportunity for a second chance I figure “why push it?”. Mr. Harley prepaid for 13 days of slip fees. The local had this to say:

From the EVK4 Bloglet:

Here’s an email from a gentleman who has seen him:
“Yes !! I think quite a few people are concerned .. So far he launched the boat Saturday(19). The two helpers left soon after .(with the trailer I believe) .. He got a tow around to a spot in the boat harbour .. after stowing more supply’s…The next day most of his stuff was out on the float He has a bad leak where the rudder bolted on .. Each AM he tediously mop’s & bail’s –what appears to be several gallons of water from the bilge. The balance of each day is spent talking to fishermen -tourist & any -body that wanders- bye.. & smokes one cigarette after another..( which may be difficult at sea ) I went down to the waterfront at 130pm to-day,, & he’s movedto the sand flats at the east end (waiting for the tide to fall ) ,,,,,,, I went down again to-night at 730 & he was out on the sand taking photo’s . The tide will very low to-morrow AM at 8-02,,I don’t know he move’s it as he doesn’t appear to have a oar.. I understand he paid for 13 days,,,So I guess this calm weather isn’t rushing him .. Winter SE winds are not far away .. It wouldn’t surprise me if he doesn’t end up in the “Charlottes” or ” Alaska ” I’m 71 years old -born here-The materials that drift on to our beaches all come north from south California-Oregon & Wash ,” Never buck the tide ” or mother nature. the way I see it he’s doing both .”

Isn’t modern communication technology fabulous?
