John Welsford to be in Texas
(and Maryland)
New
Zealand small boat designer John Welsford will attend a one
day messabout at Canyon Lake Texas which is located between
Austin and San Antonio. The event will take place on Saturday,
Septemper the 25th from about 9 AM until dark. The specific
location will be Jacob's Creek Park.
Jacobs
Creek Park is located on the Northeast side of Canyon Lake
off FM 306 near the dam. From IH 35, take Canyon Lake exit No.
191 west on FM 306, approximately 17 miles. Turn left on Jacobs
Creek Road; go one mile to park entrance. There is a nominal
fee for entrance to the park. Once you are insidek, look for
the tanbark sail on my little dinghy (pic below) we will try
to be at a picnic table near the water.
John
will be available to answer your questions so don't be shy.
He is a very interesting fellow with a persective that only
living on the far side of the planet can produce. He is glib
and astute with a broad knowledge of small boats. If you are
from Texas, his accent alone is worth the price of admission.
There is a ramp if you want to bring a boat. There
are also picnik tables if you want to bring your family for
a day at the lake. There are no plans to feed anyone, so bring
a sack lunch or otherwise be ready to take care of yourself
food-wise.
See you there!
