Strip: It Floats! *PIC*

Nerve wracking and exciting day for a first time strip builder!
Proud to say my stripper floats! It even tracks seemingly straight, is effortless to paddle, fast on the water, and surprisingly stable!

Of course for never paddling a kayak before my technique/posture is horrible, but that will come with time and practice.
I guess I can put the effort into varnish now! (and start thinking about the next one)
Thank you all for the help along the way. I'm sure as I fine tune and finish things I'll have many more questions.
