It was fun rowing about and posing for pictures, and there was one guy who happened to be there with his wife and child, who was excited to see a owner-built wooden boat.

    He told me about his Bolger Windsprint that he had built about two years before and about the June Bug Bolger boat that a friend of his had built.

    And he told me about Glenwood Reservoir in Medina, which is a pleasant place to sail -- and far from the critical eyes of the crusty sailors that one finds on the Buffalo waterfront.
