: Hey Farback,
: Thank you for the kind words. I think you have a beauty growing in
: your shop. I built the Guillemot first several years back and it
: is a fine kayak. I am sanding it and applying some new varnish
: now that the OI is out of the shop. How close are you to the
: varnish stage ? You will love your new Guillemot when you finish
: it. Oh and by the way, you will find you are so hooked on this
: kayak building.
: Clayton

Thanks Clayton

I'm closing in on the completion. I'm putting on the sealer coat before glassing. The new chemicals and cloth arrived from Raka today. Previously I had been working with West System, but I was using their 205 hardener, a bit too fast for this work. I built a S&G before this one, and gave it to my son. I've had a chance to paddle it recently (still cool here in eastern Canada). This one's for one of my daughters, but since the boats will live under my carport for the foreseeable future, I'll get a chance to enjoy them too. Boats 3 and 4 are planned already.
