This Episode of HOWB is an interview with Howard Rice of small boat adventure fame, and founder of SmallCraftAcademy.com. We met up a couple weeks ago during SCAMP Camp #3 at the NW Maritime Center in Port Townsend, WA . The SCAMP Camp is run by the Northwest School of Wooden Boat Building (Port Hadlock, WA) and employs Howard Rice as one of the lead instructors. The Camp is an awesome 2 week event where you complete approximately 50% of the SCAMP boat.

I always enjoy speaking with Howard as he is a very articulate, knowledgeable and enthusiastic seaman who has, and continues to do amazing and fun stuff with small boats and to promote the benefits of small vessels to folks worldwide.

During the interview we had a great time talking about the SCAMP boat, the SCAMP Camp (next one is in August in Port Townsend) and the new adventures of SmallCraftAcademy.com. The Academy is getting into online boat training and building classes among other things, in a new and cool way. So check it out at their website and listen to the interview with Howard for all the details.
