: Both of my kayaks are grounded for various reasons from repairs to
: incompleted construction. Sigh! The weather is ideal for autumn here in
: Edmonton and all I can do is keep working to get at least one of the
: kayaks completed. The incompeted construction kayak is in an
: understandable state of unseaworthiness. I have no excuses for what I did
: to the VJ, though. I was sipping red wine while sanding her bottom smooth
: while thinking about my big river trip slated for next year. One thing led
: to another and when I was done with the ROS, she was completely sanded
: down, including the new paint job I did last fall. I expect to have the RP
: Sport competed enough in two weeks to be paddling in it on a regular
: basis. Lesson learned: build more kayaks so that no matter how many are in
: dry dock - I will always have at least one to go by.
