We bought a stip kayak kit from Pygmy Boats about three years ago, maybe a bit longer.  We had it set up in the garage of the condo which was JUST long enough to lay out the strips.  Then we purchased the inn and we had to transport it here, which we did in the back of a LONG moving truck.  Then the strips sat in the attic where we were going to work on it, but as the attic didn’t have a real floor just plywood over the rafters it was too noisy to do while guests were here.  Then when we started working on the attic we moved it to our shed that we extended to fit the kayak in.  And still we didn’t work on it.  So we found a guy named Casey that has Kea Kayaks that does just this sort of thing!  So the first thing he did was break the strips back into their original sizes so he could transport it.  All that work we did…oh well!  But it is done!  And pretty!  And I can’t wait to take it for a paddle.  We are going to pick it up with the bug, so we should be a sight going down the road, but the boat is so light that even I can pick it up, and it is a double!  It will be fantastic.
