I finally got a break in the weather to get in the maiden voyage. I had planned to go this morning with my son in his VolksKayak, but I ended up out all night on a house fire. (not mine, I'm a firefighter) After a few hours sleep, I headed out for a local power system pond, and did a very enjoyable hour on the water. Saw some young bald eagles playing around. The Guillemot handles like a dream on the water. This is a boat I've built for my daughter who's living in British Columbia, so I'll have to be careful not to scratch it up till we find a way to get it across the country.
