Kayak Building Has Re-Commenced!

I finally got back to building my kayak. I started it about three years ago. For my birthday, my sister took me kayaking in La Jolla cove. I fell in love with the experience and decided I had to have a kayak of my own, so I started saving my spare change. When my money was almost all saved up, a good friend of mine convinced me that building a kayak was way more rewarding than just buying a pre-made plastic version. So, that's what I did.

The box came and I got started right away, glueing my strips of wood together. In the first few weeks or so, I started having problems with my gallbladder and couldn't bend over to work on my project without excrutiating pain...so I took a break from my project. I had my gallbladder removed almost a year ago, but I'm just now back to working on my project...All thanks to my sweetie who built me a work bench so I wouldn't have to bend over in the cramped garage.

Look how far I've come in just two days. I went from a flat stack of what Rob called "Fire Wood" to a beautiful hull. It's now starting to look like something. I had a slight delay tonight because my epoxy pump needed some soaking before it would work...so tomorrow I'll start the glueing process again. I better get moving before the rains come. I'm having a blast. I can't wait until it's all done.
