Hi Kerry! Yes, me too. It's about a 4-1/2 hour drive from where I live so not sure if I'm going to make it for the Deception Pass route, but will definitely be coordinating with the builder to see it at some point. I don't know if he specifically based it on the Gokstad. It's slightly smaller in length at 60 feet. Hopefully we'll find out when we get him on the podcast! Stay tuned :)
Oh I wish I could be there to watch her sail! Im stuck out in Yelm!
We feel you! We're both in Oregon, so it's a bit far away. We hope to get up there at some point and see her wherever she ends up living permanently.
Wow! Wish I could be there to see it in person. Is she based on Gokstad or any other particular excavated ship? - Kerry
