Happy New Year!!

2007 is almost finished with 2008 showing promise of being a very interesting year. Elections, a changing economy, global warming, and (most importantly) the launch of the kayak.

Haven't had opportunity to do any work on the boat over the past week, but I have bought the paint and varnish. Now all I have to do is wait for a day warm enough to work on it.

At any rate, working on the boat has been one of the most gratifying things I've done in a long time. I've learned a lot and seeing it "grow" has been fun. For now, however, I wish all of you who have been following the progress a Happy and Prosperous New Year in 2008. I leave you with this pic that was sent to me by a friend. Wonder if he's trying to tell me something?
