We wanted to be able to carry our stuff with us (like tent and cooking and clothes ect.) and stop at camp sites on the way. Also, we wanted to find a place where we could snorkel. Thanks!
You shouldn’t have any trouble with any of it….contact Lake Quachita….and ask them to send you a map of the lake…..Most of the time you can get one when you are at the lake….they are quite a few places that carry them……snorkel….wow, there are quite a few people that snorkel in Quachita…
You can camp anywhere on the lake…..I believe there are only a few homes along the river that you might not be able to camp ….but, the whole lake is open……..Have fun…enjoy the wild life….You’ll love the beauty of the mountains that surround the lake

Need help with canoe building?
My friend and I are looking to build a canoe. Does anyone know of a good website for plans the arent that hard to follow and dont require many tools. Or if you could just give us a guideline ..maybe using cable ties ….and what is the best (not expensive) type of wood?
Wood strip canoes are very aesthetic, can be home bult much cheaper than commerically available canoes and can be very strong and practical. Buy plans. Expect to spend 100-200 hours.
You can build stitch and glue plywood boats as well, but if your main goals is to have a cheap one, you are better off buying a used commercially produced boat for under $100.
i am looking for plans to build a small fishing boat around 14 ft. with plywood or wood framed.?
I hope to build with composîte wood or another type, not sure, but will have ribs on the inside of the boat.I think these are called chines. Anyway I want this boat to be lightweight enough to take off the back of a truck without too much trouble and then put into the water.I would like to use a small motor on this boat as well. My main use though is to use this boat for fishing.
You can get plans for small boats from "Messing About in Boats" or "Wooden Boat" (magazines)
We have a friend who sold plans for a boat made from luan.
Chine is the turn of the bilge, it is either hard or soft depending on whether it is an angle or a curve
The ribs on the inside are called ribs.
Composite is not a good material because of permeability. The new plastic woods might work.(recycled wood chips and recycled plastic)
Where can I get plans for a model boat jet propulsion unit?
Try RCGROUPS.COM
Find boats then post question there.
How to build a boat, using fluid mechanics?
for science class i have to build a boat, and it has to move by either using air, or water. my boat is currently made out of styrofoam, but i don’t have any ideas on how to make it move.
any ideas would be appreciated.
thank you.
Attach a toy balloon to the topside of the boat. Inflate it and install a nozzle that will direct the flow of air to the rear when the air is released.
Sunrise Kayaking on Regent’s Canal
Our last day in London (May 12, 2008) had arrived. We got up at the crack of dawn for early morning adventure: a sunrise kayaking experience on Regents Canal. At 5:45 we met Danny Gillard from ThamesRiverAdventures who recently started a kayaking outfit that provides guided kayak tours in different parts of London. Danny, who is an occupational health and safety specialist by profession, also plans to offer kayak tours in Australia and New Zealand in the winter. Kayaking on this historic canal was a supremely peaceful and serene activity and introduced us to this bustling metropolis from a completely different angle. For me personally this sunrise kayaking trip was a definite highlight of my entire London experience. After freshening up at our bed and breakfast we headed out at 11 am with our guide Ann Mark, a certified Blue Badge London tourist guide, who took us in a couple of double-decker buses to Southall, one of Londons ethnic neighbourhoods.
Over the last few decades this area has become a centre for Londons South Asian community and the streets are lined with Indian and Pakistani stores and eateries. Ann, a very openminded and cosmopolitan character, was appropriately dressed in a sari since she had just recently returned from a trip to India herself. The three of us girls got enchanted with the colourful jewellery and clothing on offer at the various retail outlets, and our neighbourhood walk turned into a bit of a shopping spree. We picked up a variety of beautiful scarves and jewellery, all at great prices. At one upscale clothing store my travel partner Andrea even tried on an Indian party dress and modeled it for us. We stopped at a local eatery to sample some delicious spicy South Asian food, and at 13 pounds for three people it turned out to be a rather affordable culinary experience. I interviewed several of the shopkeepers and street merchants, and all of us enjoyed the welcoming atmosphere in the Southall shopping area. We then strolled past the historic Himalaya movie theatre and stopped off at a South Asian supermarket where Ann and Andrea picked up some supersized bags of tea and other exotic merchandise. I had a chance to interview Ann who is an interesting character, a former investment banker turned tourist guide who is certified to provide professional London tours in six languages.
Londons multicultural flavour was definitely evident. Our evening continued along the same lines. Since we had to get up very early the next day for our departure, we decided to eat locally close to our bed and breakfast in the Holland Park area. We found a quaint little Thai restaurant called the Cool Monkey where we enjoyed generous portions of flavourful South East Asian food. Over the past three days we had caught a glimpse of so many areas of London, and I had got a good impression of this citys phenomenal diversity. From the downtown banking district to Buckingham Palace to a boat ride on the Thames River to early morning kayaking and explorations of different ethnic areas, London was a great experience, and I cant wait to get back there and explore even more facets of this one-of-a-kind metropolis.

cedar strip canoe, build and launch
A brief overview of the build, and maiden launch of my first cedar strip canoe. It is a copy of a Chestnut 14″ Fox. Plans were from Red River Canoe and Paddle. It took me just under 6 months to build. I capsized on the first outing, which pleased me greatly. I wanted a canoe that would test its master and make me a better paddler. I highly recommend this design for a solo canoe.
