finished up refinishing the kayak hull
Moving the kayak inside for the application of topcoats has allowed me to consistently progress forward despite unfavorable conditions. How does the kayak enter the house?

Tired of waiting on Mother Nature...
I've given up on waiting for the ideal morning to move forward on applying the topcoats to the Arctic Hawk and moved the project indoors.
The conditions are ideal, but the process is not without it's complications. First due to the length of the kayak it must enter the house through the window seen behind me in the image above. Also, all human inhabitants must flee the house for 4+ hours after painting is completed. This makes for some interesting scheduling.
It is gratifying to be making forward progress and be able to predict a completion date for later this week.
