Hey Gerry -
We are taking our Pinguino out for her maiden voyage tomorrow (weather permitting). She still needs to be fitted with a new seat (since we are not too fond of the Thermarest seat pad), sanded/varnished, and properly outfitted. But our goal was to "finish" b/4 my son starts school in Sept (8th grade) so we really want to get her in the water. We will carry float bags since the bulkheads have not been installed.

That said, construction is going well. This is our first build and I have minimal woodworking experience. Sure, there are some blemishes – “lessons learned” - but we are very happy so far. I am thoroughly enjoying the time spent with my son on this project.

The folks at Pygmy have been very patient with our questions. And so have the great folks on this BB - I would have been totally lost without their guidance. Many thanks!!! I hope I didn't miss anyone.
