Hi, guys. I haven't been posting much, but here goes.
Piper and I have been paddling and fishing a couple times in the last month. He built a fine SOF kayak. It's a blast to paddle and light too.

We've been talking about our next boats. I started listing the things I want in a boat and, what do you know, I convinced myself that the pirogue I have is THEE one I need!
So, I figured I'd start back with it on a positive note and give it a make-over.

I'm adding a 3- for- one carry handle, tie off rail and jam cleat on each side of the seat area.

Oh, by the way, do yourselves a favor and get some of this sandpaper. It cuts so well and lasts so long that after passing the scraper on the gunnels and the inside of the boat, I hand-sanded the whole inside and both gunnels with a quarter sheet of 220 grit. This was a piece that had been used on some other projects before!! Great stuff.

It's a little expensive, but is the best sandpaper I've ever used. It's actually a pleasure to hand sand with this stuff.
