August - afloat

It was Pete's next project once the house was finished: to make his own kayak! The drawings were acquired, the wood selected and many hours of sawing, sanding, steaming, shaping, glueing and varnishing ensued... until it was put to the test of the water, one late weekend in August 2018. 

It worked! Pete and Otto tried it on the canal down our road and could paddle happily on the still and shiny water. Hurray!
