Construction of the kayak began in January 2000, at which time I also began my immersion with HTML to enable me to document and share my first boat-building experience with this on-line construction journal. Thankfully, learning HTML was cost-free and relatively effortless with the following web-based resources: W I S E   G U Y' S   H T M L   H E L P   G U I D E and T H E   B A R E B O N E S   G U I D E   T O   H T M L.

For a pile of reasons, construction of the kayak and its accompanying website terminated a short two months thereafter and the entire project was stagnant for more than two years. Now, as of J U N E  9,  2 0 0 2 construction has miraculously resumed 100 miles along the coast south of its original birthplace-- from Ventura to Huntington Beach, California.

Ultimately, this site will detail the fundamental steps of the construction process and will include shop notes, lessons learned, and things to remember for future boat-building endeavors.
