The last time I was paddling, a woman helped me lug the kayak up about 35 steps and onto the truck. While we were standing there talking, she said she could see through my kayak. I said yeah, that fiberglass is pretty thin and she said, "no, I can _really_ see through your kayak. Upon closer expection I could _really_ see through several deep gouges. Dunno how long they've been there or wether they are leaking or not. I do know I've had some water in the rear compartment but had assumed that was from a leaky bulkhead (I'll get some marine sealer stuff the next time I'm near a marine store). But what am I gonna do about the gouges? Epoxy and fiberlass?
