In Defense of Building a Duck Boat

[RM Anderson]

Lately my neighbors (retired) have been giving me a hard time for working on my duck boats and not spending time with them. This has given me alot of food for thought. First of all, what have they created in the time that I've known them. Nothing. Secondly, I've been able to enjoy duck hunting year round because of my efforts. Third and most important is the community I've discovered here on duckboats.net. We may disagree at times but we all share a common bond. Thoughts, RM

Thoughts? I think it's great. It's your time, use it as you see fit! You owe no explanations to Anyone.

Tell them if they want to spend time with you, they need to help. Many hands speeds up sanding, among other things.

Why do your neighbors care that you are building duck boats? Maybe recruit them to help out? You keep doing you.

You guys are absolutely right. I can't remember ever having so much fun with a project. I believe it was Kenneth Grahame who once wrote, “Believe me, my young friend, there is nothing - absolutely nothing - half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats.”
