The New Boat (Finally!), The New Dog & The New Hunting Partner - Post I

[John Lane]

Hey Guys

Well I finally finished the boat (with only 2 weeks left in the season), a Carsten's Canvasback purchased from my Father this summer. He had built the lid system, but I modified it to hunt facing the stern, I also added a floor and shelves - many thanks to this site for all of the ideas, especially HuntinDave! Here are several pictures in 3 Posts I,II,II.

Working on the boat with some helpers and the new Chessie female, 3 months in this picture, named Branta.....
