Hi All,

When I was putting the Derijp away after paddling this afternoon, the boat fell on the bow from about six feet up off the garage floor. Put a real nice delamination in the epoxy.

And I just finished re-varnishing it a couple weeks ago so she looked good for the Newfound Rendezvous on Saturday. Not sure if I should try and patch it up real quick or just leave it home now!
