Launching: "Little Duck" gets feet wet *LINK* *Pic*

Saturday we launched Wifeys kayak, dubbed "Little Duck".

It's a slightly odified Bryan Gorr design. The length has been shortened about 90cm (3 feet?) to fit the shop-space. Also the bow has been raised slightly, Bryan called it "the eski-look".

Wifey says it's a bit more lively than the Guillemot, but after 30 mins, she had regained her balance almost completely.

A truly Grand Day Out. Thanks to everyone who bothered commenting my rants & raves, over the past 3 (yes - three) years of on-and-off building.
