Well the snow has been flying here and temps. are below 0 degrees C. most every night. Although the baidarka is ready for a pre-launch-launch(no deck rigging etc.), I wouldn't feel good about swimming with the water temp. what it is, (I've asked Santa for a wetsuit). Unless we get some real warm weather in the next week or so, I'll put the finishing touches on the boat and start the Grebe. Back to the pool work for the winter. I've finally gotten around to scanning some pics, but as I've mentioned I'm finding it hard to get a decent picture with my shop being as narrow as it is. I can only take a picture of the whole boat lengthwise, which gives a poor perspective of what the kayak really looks like.

Oh well, life is life.

Here's my helper helping decide if we like the shape of the cockpit we have layed out.
