Looks great Steve!!!

A boat that nice is worth a whole case of Steel Rail Ale for the launch!!
Have a great time paddling instead of sanding.

: Well,I finally launched my North Star on Saturday. Couldn't have asked for
: nicer weather. 90's Here's yours truely posing with the left over bottle
: of Steel Rail ale used for the christening. Couldn't waste the whole
: bottle for that. :) Boat paddled very nicely and tracked straight and
: true. Well I finally talked the wife into trying it and I didn't get my
: boat back for 2 hours. Guess you know what I'll be doing now for sure. One
: comment we heard from some swimmers nearby," Hey look,They make a
: kayak that looks like wood" Just got back to work so I'll post some
: more pics later.
