Hey folks. I just finished up my thru-hike of tha Appalachian Trail a month ago and need a project pronto. Just my luck, my girlfriend moves to Morehead City, NC (one of the better sea kayaking destinations around here) while I was gone. We've got the Intercoastal Waterway 300' from the house, and the Atlantic Ocean about 3/4 mile away. Been lurking/researching the last couple of months (even on the Trail!) and decided that a skin and frame kayak is probably the way to go for me, as we don't have a garage to work out of, just a HUGE screened in porch. That and the fact that I've spent pretty much every penny I had hiking the last 6 months. Any of you folks that have built a Walrus or some other skin boat have any suggestions or words of wisdom? I've ordered Putz's book and can't wait to get on this.

Thanks much in advance,
-John
