    I'm glad to see you are painting the canoe red, as everybody knows a red boat is always faster!

    New addition

    Once you paddle a W/C canoe, you will never again be satisfied with a glass or composite canoe. The smooth, easy ride in most conditions is unbeatable I don't want to portage one, but ooohhhh, the ride. I don't wonder why many people want to have multiple W/C boats to be able to choose which...

    considering a wood/canvas canoe purchase.

    A W/C canoe is like a Rolls Royce. Stable, heavy, but nothing else like it on the water. Don't blink twice, buy the boat. You'll never look back and be sorry. BTW, I own both an Old Town OTCA, circa 1931, and an Old Town HW, circa 1937. Finest boats on the water, as long as you don't have to...

    Hello from CNY

    Nice mix of canoes. You're just missing a Curtis Solo Tripper. Oh, you had one of those ... I have an OT HW, 1938 vintage, available if you are interested. Recanvased by Vintage Canoe Works 14 years ago, only used once since then, taking up valuable space in my garage.

    Coffee

    Drop the shells from the eggs you cooked for breakfast into the coffee pot. The grounds accumulate around the shells after boiling in the pot. makes cleanup easier too.

    Nice day paddle

    Still a while longer for me to wet a paddle. Snow falling by New Era Stadium! Waiting for lasting temps in the 60's or 70's so I don't have to wear a dry suit, just dry clothes.

    Different Times

    Here, too, in Western NY, we are experiencing unprecedented times. we can't go out to eat, can't buy new clothes, can't even go to a sporting goods store to but a new paddle or look at a new boat. We cannot even get a haircut! The streets are almost empty. At almost 70 years old, my kids won't...

    Dogs. Especially canoe dogs

    I don't have any pics of my canoe dogs, but I've had 2 out of 3 in the past 40 years. My Mini Schnauzer wouldn't let me leave the shore without him in the boat. If I didn't take him with me, he would follow along the shore until I stopped and picked him up. he even swam after me a few times. He...

    Time to shift gears

    I have an unheated, uninsulated summer cottage on a small lake (Tingley) near exit 217 on I 81. Its 225 miles from home (near New Era Stadium). While I have a couple of canoes at the cottage, its almost too far for a day trip in the winter just to paddle. I can always dream, but I prefer to have...

    North Country Winter Images

    Live near New Era Stadium, the home of New York's only Professional football team. 5 years ago, we had 5 feet of snow in 3 days. This year, 60 degrees (f) tomorrow. I'd love to have a couple of feet of white beauty on the ground.
