Yesterday was the big day and all went fine. We went to a nice lake just outside 0f Portland. The weather was not the best, but the mist gave the lake a nice, mysterious look and the cooler temperature made the water seem not too cold.
The kayak floated fine and paddled nicely (not that I have anything to compare it to). The only complaint it the lack of seat padding. An hour or more of sitting on thin, wood ribs gets a bit uncomfortable. But padding will be easy to add.
It was very satisfying to see this project all the way through, from lumber yard to water.
