: Enjoy the kayak. You won't notice the difference of a day or two of direct
: sunlight. More than that I cannot say.

: Consider, also, not using varnish but one of the more UV and
: scratch-resistent 2-part polyurathane finishes. I did my last two kayaks
: with a gloss polyurathane finish and find that it is much more scratch
: resistant. It also goes on thicker, so it covers scratches in the epoxy
: better than varnish.

Hey John,
How are you surviving the hell of Fiji :-)
Do you have some imagery from that backward 3-rd world country :-))), and your kayaking around it?
Your website has not been updated for a while.

PS.
What the heck one has to do to land in Fiji? Who did you bribe...?
After all, most Peace Corp volunteers wind up on Baffin Island :-)
