Here is a couple of Endeavors I build over the last few years. Sadly it's time to revarnish but it will have to wait until next year when it warms up.
How about a larger image? Glen.

As one who built his kayak to be used, not just looked at, I am hoping that you are mostly joking. What do you think happens when I go north where there is granite, granite, and more granite? Lisa's beach in BC looks pretty soft in that photo, by comparison.mtpocket wrote:Now, get them off those rocks. :frightened
The kayaks look great!

I thought the same thing ... along the northeast "coast" of Georgian Bay, everything is exposed granite, sand beaches are few and far between ... there are also a lot of barely submerged rocks, some of them quite angular ... normally you can see them well enough to avoid them, by the change of colour in the water, but when the wind whips up and visibility gets poor, and the driving rain is pounding the lake surface, and getting in your eyes, you can't see them so well anymore ... :shockedpawistik wrote:As one who built his kayak to be used, not just looked at, I am hoping that you are mostly joking.
I have some ugly scratches on my hull from getting hung up on a couple such rocks last year ... paddled right up onto them, then had to back-paddle to extract myself ... its an odd feeling being precariously balanced on some solid object you can't see, 200m from the nearest land ... I don't normally make a practice of going out in such conditions, but this squall snuck up on me ... haven't found the time to refinish just yet ... maybe this winter.
