I've got float bags in the forward and aft compartments. Mainly because I haven't glued in the bulkheads yet (They're just wedged in). I need to give up paddling long enough to allow the 5200 to set up 8^). Still need to varnish this beast also.

Looks like rain/snow all day Saturday, and Sunday cold. I guess I can't take it outside to sand it again this weekend. Darn. I may have to just paddle it this weekend. I keep telling my wife I'm *trying* to get it out of the basement. After all, it is only there 5 days out of 7.
