Maiden Voyage














Chuck, our fearless leader has his qajaq finished enough to give it a test run. So he shrink wrapped it and I met him at a boat launch on the Clinton River just outside of Mt. Clemens.









After we shooed away the geese looking for handouts I helped him into his boat. We both had drysuits on with too many layers on underneath. It was cold and starting to snow.



Chuck seemed to like his qajaq and it looked really nice. So he took a little spin in it and declared no changes needed to be made. How exciting for him.










So he'll take it back to the shop and skin it with nylon this week. We will all have to pay close attention as no one else's qajaq's will leave the shop with skin on.
