It’s about time I began blogging again. DC’s early spring is turning into an early summer and that can only mean one thing… I need to get out on the Potomac. As I promised back in September, I would build a stand-up paddle board. After much delay, it is finally happening.
Unlike Baby Red, who was built from scratch, I purchased a kit from Chesapeake Light Craft (CLC) in Annapolis, Maryland. I have been waiting to visit CLC since I began building my rowboat last year. They build handcrafted boats, kits for the ambitious, and have a showroom you can visit. It was spectacular (for me at least).

After I lugged home the 12.5-foot Kaholo kit, I found that the box included all the pieces, epoxy, and fiberglass I needed.

You can see that the pieces are cut a like a jig saw puzzle. I got my hands dirty over the weekend and I will follow up with the results of that!
