Good find, thanks Glenn! RickR, was that your first poling experience?

Looks like a great outing! Nice that you have some polers and good poling locations to get out on. I'm with Bob B. on the dog issue. I can do flatwater poling with the dog but his sudden weight-shifts prohibit poling in moving water, often making choose between poling and taking him.

Thanks for sharing, Robin. Unfortunately I can't access the article, despite disabling my ad blocker

I've been in the flattish rock etc crowd for a while. But last fall we happened to end up at the lean-to on Follensby Clear Pond (Adirondacks), which had a high table built into the outside wall. I was deeply appreciative of a level surface high enough to stand at while cooking. I agree...

Three Minutes with a Maine Guide has 4 videos on repairs and repair kits. As with many of her videos, not all of it applies to all of us, but she's got some great tips and real world experience.

Misty morning

Not my listing. @Cheeseandbeans found a free Mohawk on FB, and neither of us is going for it. We don't know anything other than what's in the post. It's on the South Shore of Long Island, NY (I can guess why they're giving away a WW boat living there.)...

Thanks for keeping the lights on, fellas! It's a lot of time and it's appreciated!

I feel a bit silly asking, but for those with wall racks below waist height (@Robin @Carp ), how do you get the lower boats off? Slide off the end, or the side? I built my wall rack for boats to come off the side (it's on the back wall of a space limited garage). But it's awkward with a solo...

Thanks for the info! Everyone says composites are tougher than one thinks, but they sell IXP for a reason. Good to hear of real world experiences of failure points.

RIP Brownie. Sorry for your loss, @Sweetfancymoses

I'd be curious to hear more about what it takes to crack a Blacklite hull. Moving water? Fast or slow? Loaded boat? Hit straight on the bow, or somewhere along the side or bottom?

Good testing, thanks for sharing the results.

I didn't know there is a canoe repair shop in Gloversville! Looks like a great resource! Sorry to say I don't have much to add on the Lincoln discussion - good luck with it!

Full disclosure - I have a family member having surgery earlier that week. I confirmed today that they might, or might not, need my help as late as Sat. So unfortunately I'll be noncommittal til the last on this, much as I'd like to join.

Welcome! Quite a comfy set up on the paddleboard!

Thanks for getting the ball rolling on this, @Sliding Focus ! I'd definitely like to join! Unfortunately there's a chance I'll have to be out of town for a family thing that day...hope to know more soon.

Indeed, the Heron is terrible for oil canning. But, it's also about the lightest royalex tandem I've seen at ~50lbs. Everything's a trade-off. :)

Good info and resources, thanks all! I got out on the water in the boat for the first time yesterday, visiting a small lake/pond that feeds into a twisting marshy creek. I brought two single blades and a pole to test out, along with the 70lbs of wriggling furry ballast. There was a bit of...

I recently got a used Bell Morningstar with a sliding bow seat (much like the Stewart River pic that Glenn posted) and a center seat for solo paddling as in the Eaglet above. I tried it both from the center seat and from the bow seat backwards for the first time yesterday. The issue with the...
