In Response To: B-day Launch!!!!!!!! *Pic* (Neil Nicol)

: I have finished my expeditionsingle on my birthday which was Saturday the
: 12th. I launched it despite rainy, cold, windy weather. I hardly noticed
: as the the maiden voyage was much more important. It handled nice despite
: the fact my seat was not fastened in or the lack of thigh braces which I
: am used to, but under these conditions it felt good. Thanks to Nick and
: everyone on the kbb for helping out.

Congrats Neil, thats great!!!
Now comes the 2nd part of the relationship, learning how it handles and also answering all those questions every time it leaves your garage. "how long did it take you to build your canoe?" just smile and say 2 weeks.

Happy birthday and post a few more pics
