Hi Bryan

Sounds like your family had a great time. I look forward to pics and the blog.

The skirt is made of nylon, with a 1/4" bungie for the coaming lip, and 1/8" for the chest bungie. I used Shawn Baker's instructions... Hope the info helps.

: Looks great again Kelly! Lots of fun. I wouldn't mind seeing the spray skirt
: you made. Could you post pics of that too?

: We had Amelie's Sea Flea out on the Churchill River this past weekend (4
: days). She paddled for a few minutes, then was towed behind the guillemot
: (as expected) the rest of the way to the island where we camped (across
: two small lakes and a portage around a large rapids). The outriggers
: reduced the chance of tipping out on the lake. My wife paddled the loaded
: guillemot, I paddled the canoe with my other daughter (not quite 3 years
: old), our lab dog, and the other 75% of the gear. We were camped with two
: other families and all of the kids had fun taking the Sea Flea out for
: tours. We were on the "shield" which means the area was rough
: granite rock, water, and trees. The kayak had a small amount of wear at
: the bow end of the keel (right at the tip of the keel). After a few trips
: I'll probably add a wear strip patch there. We didn't get the chance to

: fairly steeply into the water meaning the water gets deep fast with no
