Strip: Launching of Guillemot L

I found a picturesque little lake in Northern New Hampshire, U.S.A. to launch the Guillemot L. The name of the lake is Forest Lake and it is about halfway between the towns of Bethlehem and Whitefield. Some friends and I drove up there on Friday afternoon and tossed her in. She does not track as straight as my Necky Elahu kayak, but I will work on the paddling technique a bit before I put a skeg in her.

In the video the snow capped mountain is Mt. Lafayette (5269'), and the large non-snow capped are the Twins (north and south, about 4700'.)
