Swallow II

I like sailing and I am associated in the K-State sailing club.  The picture is my remote controlled sailboat, Swallow II, at Nolt's pond, New Holland, Pennsylvania.  My favorite type of sailboat is a Stowaway 16 (16 feet long.)  The club has started an Optimist pram (flat on both ends) club and my mom is elected leader for it. (My pram is almost done,)  
 
I am in Cub-Scouts also.  I have done Pinewood-Derby cars.  My latest and last car got 2nd in Webelos, 4th in Troop 274, and 5th Manhattan wide.
I was in fourth grade and taught by Mrs.Cahoj at Theodore Roosevelt.  Amazing summer!!  My dad was running for  USD383 school-board.  Sadly he has lost getting 4th place.   

I am interested in rockets.  I have 2 small kit rockets that are powered the same as the Solid-Rocket Booster on the NASA shuttles. 
Lately I have been working on a project called Icexplorer-The Europa Mission.  (link for more)  

I entered in the Reading Rainbow writing compitition with Sailing In The Fog.  I got 1st place!  I got to go on to the "all over the USA".  If I won I would have gotten the book published!!!  I have done the competition before with The Monarch Who Thought He Was a Human and gotten 2nd

place.
