I launched the kayak on Sunday 7-30-2000. Quite a few friends showed up and we took turns taking it out on the water. Debbie, Kyle, and I took the first paddle. It was a little bit windy and the wind was steering the boat for me. This kayak really NEEDS a rudder (sorry Dean). I'm currently waiting for one to come in at the store so I can buy it and put it on.

We didn't get very many pictures, but I should have some more soon when my father-in-law gets them to me.

I think he got some of the wooden paddles I made.
