Greetings:

It has been a big day for Leslie and I: The first launch of our first boat! There is still a lot of work to be done, but the weather was nice and everything on the boat is coated with schmoo... So we snuck it out of the shop for a few hours.

It ain't exactly a Cirrus, but then, little doubt exists that this group is far too noble to say anything about that. At any rate, we wholly consider it a grand little vessel, for we built her ourselves.

I would offer a performance report, but having only paddled a 10-foot Tupperware tub previously, it would most likely be worthless. Suffice it to say we are delighted with it, and had a perfect blast!

Oh, and the duct tape really wowed 'em!

Cheers!
Kurt & Leslie
