Around 2013 I set aside a project of building a 31 foot flying proa to my design for lack of funding. About the same time I was given an opportunity to engineer and to do much of the carpentry on a horse drawn wagon. It is Suzanne's project which she has named Toti Bleu, or blue tortoise. Some photos of this project are in an album. I have enjoyed the project and learned much from the design. I am currently designing the first of a series of ultra light traveling wagons. These wagons, or roulottes as they are called in French, are intended for the adventurous traveler willing to travel with a backpacker's mentality, and wanting to travel places such as mountain fire trails off limits to other more traditional roulottes.

A recollection of this sailing trip is available here:
