David,
Nice looking boat. Congratulations.

--Tony

: Yep, it is launch day. Really turned out nice after lunch was 36 degrees this
: morning, probably 50s while I was out. Took the "Cirrus" to my
: local WMA, figured I would do some scouting while I was out paddling.

: Kudos to Vaclav for this design, I know it is only the first day, but I
: absolutly love it! It tracks from point A to B, and will turn with bow
: sweeps, I never hit a tree, ha.

: The magnet hatches worked great also, I might would add 1 or 2 more magnets
: next time tho. I was able to open the rear hatch and get stow my wool
: shirt which I had to get rid of about 15 minutes into the paddle. I also
: had my daypack in the rear and could open the hatch while on the water and
: get the camera out of my backpack, pretty neat.

: Thanks to all for their ideas that I used and to this wonderful treasure
: trove website by Nick.
