In Response To: Re: Great Bulletin Board (Nick Schade - Guillemot Kayaks)

: One of the problems with this BBS is everyone posts pictures of
: their drop-dead-gorgeous kayak and begginers are intimidated. They think
: that there is no way that they can do as good a job. They can, but there
: is no reason that they need to.

I tried to do a careful job on my two Pygmys last year, and in some ways I did, but in other ways I totally muffed it.

But, these several glaring cosmetic defects do not in any way prevent the numerous passersby from remarking, "wow, beautiful boats!". (I guess they're only "glaring" in my eyes.)

And it sure looks to me like the seals, the cormorants, and the herons don't notice the defects. :)
