In the latest Epoxyworks issue, there's a great story on how a husband & wife team gave the infamous Gougeon build
"Hot Canary" some love and TLC and renamed her Vivacious.

and the 2011 video of building Hot Canary.

Both Jan and Meade Gougeon are gone now and will be sorely missed.

As some of you have noted, our websites are down, but we are alive & kicking, answering the mail and helping with builders questions.
It's a bit of a long story. Suffice it to say, we have needed to update our outdated & cumbersome sites for a very long time. (Especially the map.) We've both had big surgeries during the past year or so. I recovered quickly, but Susan hasn't. After seeing dozens of doctors, we finally found one who looked beyond the usual suspects. Turns out it was Susan's heart. But the good news, it's something rare that can be controlled by a new medication. She needs a few months to get stronger & we'll be back to our full strength.

When the new site is up, we're going to raise prices as we haven't done that in several years. Material costs etc. have gone up.
In the meantime, please just email us directly @ i550watershed@yahoo.com.
We can send you a Paypal invoice for $100 USD for the pdf plans etc. Prices for Tyveks, CAD files, kits will remain the same, too, until
we get the new site up.
Again, thank you for all your patience and good wishes.
Cheers!

Thanks for the update and link, Tim. And best of luck to you both on the health issues. Getting older really does SUCK. But, as they say about the alternative, right?

Getting old is a gift not everyone receives.
