Sitting all night with the bottle of alcohol and a toothpick sounds pretty good...as the night goes on though I seem to forget what the toothpick is for.

I'll be cutting out the cockpit tonight and starting to strip the uprights. I noticed that most people do this step prior to glassing the deck interior...oops...I suppose it really doesn't matter too much. I was planning to put in another 4 oz layer around the cockpit inside anyway.

No paddle made yet, I'd better get started on that also. It would look pretty funny on launch day if I have to use my canoe paddles.
