Paddling

Two months since I finished it, I finally had time to go out for another paddle...

this time it felt a lot better than last time. The waterline is around the bottom of the gunwhales at the seat, and while it is fairly unstable, it is possible to balance. :P

I paddled for just over an hour, going 1.7 KM and back again, and on the way I rolled over 3 times, and because I haven't practiced rolling back up yet had to get out of it and pull it to shallower water so I could empty out the water and get back in. :P

I'll still paint it, and make deck lines, somewhere down the line, but next weekend I'm planning on going shopping for wood for my gf's kayak. :D
