19. Outfitting
With four coats of varnish applied I’m moving on to outfitting the kayaks. It is time to install the hatches, seats and foot rests.
17. First Splash!
I test floated one of the kayaks in my neighbor’s pool. It felt so good to sit down in that boat…it seemed quite stable.
16. Paddles and Back Rests
Paddles and seat back rests are accessories commonly purchased as commercial products to complete one’s kayak. I decided to construct my own.
9. Chill Out!
Winter has arrived in south Louisiana as evidenced by this icicle dangling from a hose bib. The cool weather halts epoxy work as it won’t cure.
