The eyes of the world

In the course of a few weeks, this humble first-time boat builder has attracted the attention of readers from around the world. There have been nearly 500 visitors to the site since construction started, from places as distant from Alabama as Korea and Australia. In truth, the vast majority of visits come from North America, as the map above shows. Some visitors have been kind enough to send notes of encouragement, which are greatly appreciated. I was especially honored to receive a note from a CLC designer: I will try to not let the pressure that he is watching get to me! Thanks to all of you for your attention. If you happen to be in central Alabama next spring, don't hesitate to contact me. We'll go for a little sail!
