From Don's Desk
Storm Watch 2005! The big news in Santa Barbara during the first few months of 2005 was the weather. We have gotten over 33 inches of rain this year!! Needless to say, during the rainy spell there wasn’t much fishing or boating going on. For that matter, there wasn’t much boatbuilding going on! The wet weather makes it very difficult to fiberglass, especially in the outdoor bays that we work in. Thankfully, we are now enjoying perfect weather and we are starting to catch up! Let’s hope for good weather for the rest of the year so we can all get out on the water and have fun! Don Radon Featured Boat: Eric Down’s 29’Radon
