Sand, appoxy, squeegy, appoxy, appoxy, sand.... and so it goes. From flimsy wood boards, to a sturdy bottom and a top it looks like we are almost there. But, we still have a ways to go. We pushed hard through September, with just a few nights off, our goal is to be finished by the end of October.... we may need to push that to November. We have spent our evenings in the garage with the door open to the house and music playing. We started with portable heaters to warm up the garage and wer were still working on the Kayak when it was 10:00pm and still hot outside. The seasons have passed, the warmest weather to be out on the water, gone, but we are confident that we have the right clothing to allow us to get our boat out on the water when it is complete... even if it is in the cold rain.
With the bottom of the boat finished, we now need to wire the top to the bottom, fiberglass, appoxy, and sand. Somplace in there we need to fill in the seams with wood appoxy and put our inlays on the top. But we will still not be finished. We will then need to cut the 2 hatches in the kayak, and put the combing around the cockpit.... yet when that is done I am sure there will still be more to do.
