New Kayak

After a long and cold winter, it has finally warmed enough to start working on my new kayak again.  I finished planking the haul on Sunday.  I should be able to sand and fiberglass the haul next weekend.  Then, I will turn the mold over, and plank the deck.  Once the deck is finished, I will join both halves together. 

My goal is to have the kayak done for a trip to the Boundary Waters in northern MN by June 1st. 

I was planning on doing a thru paddle of the NFCT in 2014, but one of my friends has talked me into a 300 mile trip on the Yukon River in Alaska next summer.  I don't think I can pass up a trip like that!  He's still in the planning stages so there is no definite plans yet.  He tends to be slightly monomaniacal when it comes to wilderness trips so I know I can count on him to figure out the logistics.
