kayak on the water

Well to the disappointment of some of the onlookers (Jim) the kayak didn’t fold up and sink.  It paddles straight and has great stability.  I think I can call this a success.  There is still a little bit of finishing work but I can go kayaking now.

Now that I’m back from DC I put in some quality time on the boat this weekend.  Looks like I should be able to take it out and test it on Tuesday if all goes according to plan.  Here are some pics of the work I did over the weekend.  I installed the cockpit coaming risers, hatch spacers, and the bulkheads.
