Looks like you had a solid trip. Thanks for sharing.

Vietnam is beautiful. I got to stay in Mui Ne on the coast but also managed to go to Da Lat, Saigon, and Hanoi. I still want to go back to see Ha Long bay. Post pictures when you can. Have a tiger for me too. Cheers.

Will you have to inflate these tubes separately or are you connecting them to the main tubes for an easier fill?

You probably used MEKP as the catalyst. MEK + Peroxide I think.

Looks good Don!

Perhaps. It's been a while since I built guitars. I remember I had to wear a tyvek suit with air hose to work. Special face shields where mandatory when refilling the MEK.

Methyl ethyl keytone is nasty stuff. We use to use it to polymerize urethane sprayed on guitars as a base coat. Work looks clean.

Don't get me wrong Don I love this thread. Great seeing the progress. Hopefully this summer will be her maiden voyage.

I hate to say it Don put that last picture you have is the first time I have seen your boat on water. Im hoping that you get her on the open seas soon . She must be getting antsy for some fiah to land on her deck.

Looks like a good time. Congrats.

WOW! I am glad you guys are OK. That could have been very dangerous. Never have seen that before. Careful out there. Pura Vida Tico!

Welcome

Yeah me too!

Lol. No. I have access to a permit that takes us to the front of the line.

Could be worse it could be Malibu.

I have heard that the golf courses on the west side are one of the causes for increased cig as all the fertilizers drain into the ocean. I heard roi is supposed to be awesome tasting. I just used them for chum though cause cig is real bad. I know my teacher in high school had it when he was living in Samoa. He didnt eat fish for years. Are lobster prone to getting and transmitting cig? What about tako?

Can you still buy the cig kits? I remember they use to sell them and some people would even test for you.

I always wanted to dive baja just could never get a group of guys together. I might be available around that time for a few days. Not sure if thats much help to you? I do speak spanish fluently and I'm in the medical field. Spanish is helpful but I hope I don't have to use any of my studies while traveling. I have found a route that gives us a 15 minute border crossing coming back too which is nice.

Welcome. Use to be a Kona boy for a long time but moved to the mainland. Is that an Ulua in your avatar? What's the story behind that monster?

Local news usually has surf reports as buisnesses open and close depending on the surf.

Welcome. Surfline.com is good, when I lived in Hawaii we just used the binoculars and the coconut wireless. Check noaa they have info too. Make sure to post pictures too.
