Arrival

After moving to a new home, I decided to give myself a present I've thought about for several years, a kayak kit. Considering my size and experience,  the Pygmy Boats Borialis XL seems like the perfect boat for me. I ordered the kit along with several accessories last week and they arrived today.

I'll be posting the build process from now on. The first step was building a work surface. I bought a sheet of MDX and had it cut in half I then mounted 2x4s under the nasty side to stiffen it. It seems like a reasonable height to work with.

All I've done so far is open the boxes and find the instructions.  I will read them until I understand each step before I pick up another tool.

Wish me luck.
