I have developed an appreciation for big canoes this summer! Memaquay, do you know how much yours weighs? Dave

Snapper, What canoe are you paddling there? Dave

The greatest part was meeting Robin face to face. He's a genuinely nice guy! AND he didn't seem to mind riding in a truck with a big Kevlar canoe on it. :)

You can't pick them up! They weigh more than 25 pounds!!!!

My buddy Ralph and I just finished a 10 day canoe trip on the longest river in New England, the 410 mile Connecticut, although we did the northern 156 miles. Robin had volunteered to do our shuttle which simplified the whole trip AND invited us to stay with him on the trip north from Maryland...

Kim, dang!! Sorry to hear that. Hope you have a speedy recovery and are back on the water quickly. Best wishes, Dave

Thanks, Marten. Enjoyed them. Regards, Dave

Elegant solution. Karin. Very nicely done! Regards, Dave

YC, I hear they don't hang their food at Bradley. :) Dave

I already have mine on my car. Looks great!! Thanks, Robin. Dave

I just got back from a 10 day, 156 mile paddle down the Connecticut River starting a mile from the Canadian border. The only bear we saw was in Robin's backyard in Connecticut!!! TR to follow. Regards, Dave

http://gchs.sgdsb.on.ca/groups/gchs-outers Well, I notice that the school is a "composite" school. Too bad it isn't a "wood and canvas" school or a "stripper" school. No, I guess the last wouldn't pass muster. :) Great TR. Love seeing the kids having the adventure of doing this. Thanks for...

You take a canoe and fill it up with airbags and it might not be an open canoe anymore. Just sayin'. Whatever floats your boat, I guess.

l'oiseau, I used to carry anti-nausea suppositories when I skippered offshore sailboats. Dehydration from vomiting occurs rapidly and if you can't hold down oral meds these worked. I think they were prescription. I am leaving Friday for a 2 week canoe trip and my doctor prescribed some meds for...

I like the 1st one a lot.

Thanks for the TR. There are worse ways to spend your time than paddling and exploring the ADKs! Regards, Dave

Murat, Thanks for that link. That canoe is put together just like a bark canoe. !/4" plywood seems a bit overkill. Wonder what it weighs?? Nice to know it can be done.

RPG51, When did you do the Thelon trip?

Incredible trip. I'd say trip of a lifetime but I hope not. :)
