Well....its possible that we may get back to work on Thursday or Friday
night, and its slightly possible that we might get very close to finishing
this puppy. we only have the back deck and cockpit to go, then sew the
flaps down...maybe...I wont get my hopes up quite yet (for the newbies, I
have carpal tunnel problems and have to have someone sew for me, so I'm at
the mercy of their schedule).
I'm a little disappointed that her seams are so straight and perfect
looking. I wanted ugly zig-zag seams going every which way, as if I had
sewed them. Of course she is very proud of them, so we have some
disagreements. <g> Another disagreement is that I'm going to be slopping
poly with powdered pigment on it later, covering up her hard work with my
half-assed work. :-) But I dont want a "perfect", manufactured looking
kayak. I already have one of those. I want something with character
