Well this is a momentous day indeed. The hull and deck are married. They were previously engaged to check for a good fit, then they were joined at the hip to make sure the relationship would stick. They have now walked the aisle. I feel like a proud Dad, Deek is the best man and Ang is the maid (maiden?) of honor. For the third and FINAL time they are wired together. I used a few clamps at the stem to make sure all seams aligned to my specs. There is REALLY No turning back. The epoxy join is forever. Long after I am gone this boat will serve as a reminder of blood, sweat, and beers. Oh, I cut my finger tonight and bled all over the place. No worries. I hope this kayak brings joy and adventure for many many years. Tonight it really is a boat!
