Hi Pedro,

Thanks for the comments.

Yes, it is a bit odd that I have actually built three now - the Recovery quite a few years ago, a Sea Flea for the kids this summer, and now the 'banana'. Yet, I have only paddled about a dozen or so times, and this weekend was the first time in/on salt water.

I am really hooked, though, and look forward to learning more and more :D

cheers,
kelly t

: Nice job, Kelly! So, that was your time in a sea kayak? I did the same thing.
: I had never paddled a narrow sea kayak before I built mine; I had only
: paddled wider/shorter kayaks. I've had another kayak for many years, but
: it's nothing like a sea kayak. It's a wide, heavy, plastic kayak intended
: for paddling or sailing. It has a daggerboard and one large cockpit for
: two people. It's actually quite fun when the wind is blowing, but nothing
: you'd even think of rolling.

: Congrats, your boat looks great!
