Sam Dooley

My name is Sam and I live in Chagford. This is a record of some of the things that happen. Chagford is a small town on Dartmoor in Devon. Many skilled artists, writers and crafts people live in and around Chagford, giving the town a rich creative feeling. There are many pubs,banks, shops, a school, a church and a library. Chagford is nestled between two hills, Natedon and Meldon, and is surrounded by bueatiful fields, rivers, woods and moorland.

SnowwonS



Woke up to a world of White today.

Jessie and I both had to get up for work (my first day back at the Bouncy Castle).

no work on the coracle today..want to get started on the next already.

I want to build solid gunwales and then build the ribs to them. That way I can shape a good shape for the boat.

The style of boat I am building has no keel so has a very shallow draft-the float high in the water.

I would like to fit a sail to the canoe I build but may need counter with a centerboard or ballast or outrigger perhaps.

I have put a photo up of Chagford in the snow. It is not the snow this time but one from last time,but it looks much the same!
