Strip: Small gaps between strips

As I strip the hull of my Night Heron, I can see some very small gaps between some of the strips. These gaps are maybe a 1/32" wide and can only be seen from an angle while looking down at the hull. I'm using cove and bead strips so I can't see through the hull. Is this normal as one strips the hull? And should I be trying to fill these with glue as I see them? Or should I not worry about it and just keep stripping and fill these after I sand?
