The Jacqueline Skiff II

Exactly 2 months from the day I began my kayak building adventure at The WoodenBoat School, I christened and launched my Shearwater Sport on Lake Champlain. What a joy to finally see it in the water! Despite the chilly morning air in northern New York it was a beautiful fall day and my shearwater sport performed admirably, as expected.Named in honor of the love of my life, Jacqueline Skiff, whose last name is serendipitously apt!A special thanks to Eric Schade for his patient and expert instruction, as well as to the entire WoodenBoat School staff. Jackie and I had a wonderful and memorable week at WoodenBoat this past August. We are looking forward to going back soon!Jonathan L Schneiderman
