Well done. Aren't those square-drive screws great?

TY, Love the screws. TY also to whoever suggested replacing them. One
of the old screws was broken off in the gunnel. I just drilled for
new ones since there is plenty of room for screws, 66 screws in all is
all that holds this canoe together, 67 with the new ones. The shiny
new ones are pretty.

Put it in the water! :-)

That's the plan. It has rained a lot recently and the water is up! I
love the solo canoe compared to the tandem. No waiting around for a
partner who can't paddle anyway, hehe. If yu want to see some of the
nicest canoes, here is the site for canoes made in MN, the capital of
canoeing:

I have a Mike Galt designed Egret in the back yard. It supposedly the last
one he built and delivered personally. I have two Mitchell bent paddles that
were designed by Mike. One has his autograph and the other has Marylou's
autograph.
I wonder any of you are familiar with sport paddling? :-)
