: Hopefully you'll be well under way when we come up in December. If I ever do
: a strip, that would also be my pick. That's a sweet looking boat! You
: should notice a huge jump in performance on the river and man, talk about
: a babe magnet!

Are you kidding? I couldn't paddle in the Night Heron in the river. Don't you remember the things I do to kayaks? I'd scratch it, dent it or bust it in half. I still don't know my limits for what I can do to kill a kayak. Hey, it'll take me at least a year to build the thing. There's no wayyyyy I'm gonna risk getting it scratched. No WAYYYYYYY!

: Haven't had a chance to get much further on the build. The second batch of
: gluing up hull and deck panels went much better than the first. Now I just
: have to figure out how to clean up the mess on the edges.

What mess?
