: Really is a turning point to get it wet! I launched at a nearby lake Sunday
: evening. Nice sun shine and 60 degrees. My wife, Jean her son Josh and
: Jean's sister was there to witness.

: I built the Guillemot 6% oversize from the book. It still needs 2 more coats
: of varnish, but is 18' long and 63lbs with seats, foot braces, bulkheads
: (one strip and one minicell 3" foam) and two hatches.

: I have pictures but they are being developed, will get them up later.

Congratulations David!!
Glad you got the boat in the water. So, did your spectators get a ride or did you hog it all yourself?

Looking foreword to some pictures.
