Sounds like a hard pass to me! Points awarded for outstanding vocabulary!

I didn’t start wearing socks to paddle (unless wearing tennis shoes/boots when it’s cold) until I started kneeling and realized I didn’t want to burn the soles of my feet. As PaddlingPika above noted as well, I’m sick of sunscreen and am choosing to cover up instead where possible.

Why am I not surprised NPR would push something like this.

Rest In Peace Waterdog. I sure did enjoy the few PMs we shared, and I enjoyed your trip reports immensely.

That’s a good starting point. But you can also use trim to help manage wind and steerage. With a headwind, trim the bow down to limit how much the wind pushes your bow around, with a tailwind you can do the opposite.

Sounds like you’re in good shape. Looking forward to the trip report!

Since your paddle is your connection with the water, it is not a great place to try and save money. I know it’s a lot to swallow after buying a boat, especially in canoe-length double blade paddles. However, (and Glenn beat me to this) a beater backup is a good idea so no real downside to...

Wow. Incredible pic.

🤣 I’ve never heard of possum on the half shell described as cute! They are also exotic (Texas) invasives in Florida.

So long as you didn’t poke them with a needle.

Slick solution, like balls joints.

Man alive, that’s a drag. Glad nothing broke, but soft tissue damage can linger too. Of the 4 of us roommates in college, I’m the only one who hasn’t been in a bike/traffic accident. I did however wreck my dirt bike in the woods and dislocate my shoulder. I hope you make a full recovery without...

I thought it was more recent than that, but my oldest twins are 11-1/2 and the time since their birth seems a time warp. IIRC they have been actively working at removing the armored catfish from the river. When I was there snorkeling there were entire walls/cut banks that were covered in...

Great place to paddle! I’ve never actually done it in a canoe, but have been up from the lower launch to the head in an outboard and snorkeled much of it in the way back down. The monkeys and armored catfish need to GO. There has been at least one recent surprising gator attack on a scuba diver...

I was referring to the other Bessie the basher listed on that website: https://pacificwrecks.com/aircraft/b-17/41-2420.html

Not today! Dress rehearsal for all 4 kids, tomorrow is the recital! Busy busy!!

https://pacificwrecks.com/aircraft/b-17/43-39265.html This one? There is another listed on that site with a non-PC name, but I maybe wouldn’t name my canoe after a B17 at rest on the bottom of the Pacific!

I’d probably go port side about a foot or two aft of the logo. The B17 doesn’t have shouldered tumblehome so you’ve got lots of real estate there. Will you include any nose art?
