Thanks RUSS, I've actually been paddling it a since about July 1st. It's been slow in getting finished though. I took it to Ebey slough all the way around Ebey Island (about 12 miles), once around Green lake in seattle, about 3 or 4 trips to Silver lake, one trip to Lake Ballinger, and I just got back from paddling it at Lake Ozette on the Olympic peninsula (about 7 miles). It's been a lot of fun.

Speaking of Norse men, maybe I should make a kayak that looks like a viking ship. I could even put the mermaid on the front.
