Kayak emerges from Basement!!

Hoping to take it out this weekend

Done, Done, Done!!!!!!!

Construction has concluded.

Gluing Coaming

Well the epoxy finally cured and I was able to attached the left coaming. Tomorrow the other side.

Second coat upper coaming and right lower coaming

Getting closer...

Had to re-finish the seat coaming (directly above) because the epoxy didn't cure properly the first time (#$%$%@$). The other piece is for the seat support. I keep getting closer although learning the whole "patience thing" isn't going so well.

Deck attached and glassed!

Haven't posted in a long time. The deck is atached and the entire boat is now glassed. It's actually seaworthy at this point. I have to add the skirt coaming, seat and foot pedals and that's it for construction. After the epoxy cures (about one month) I have to cover the boat with 5 to 10 coasts of varnish -- can't wait (read sarcasm).
