The video sure adds to the trip report! That looks great! I will have to try some of that now that I have a new computer. How big a memory card were you using?
My first year on the site and it has been a pleasure reading all the stories and finding the info for a few great ideas on making the trips better. Thanks so much for what this fine place has to offer! Congrats!
Looks to have been a great trip regardless of the weather, thanks for sharing! I feel like a wimp now for cancelling my trip due to rain/wind. I really like the storm/lightning picture too! Lots of great shots from this trip.
A spoon, caused me all sorts of grief during dinner and breakfast for that trip! One of the little things that counts is a toothbrush too, don't loose or drop yours.
I don’t have someone to fill the other seat but am planning for the future. Was just too good a deal to pass on for a lighter (43lb) full size tripper. Will be fun and a challenge to do the repairs and if needed can sit for a bit till I am in need for the second seat. The Keewaydin 15 is...
Thanks to all for the ideas and for the help. I just need to get some materials and time to do the repair and I will have a two seater for the next years adventures!
ppine- I am hoping that a coat of epoxy will diminish the exterior cracks and marks!
Thanks for the suggestions ppine, that sounds a bit aggressive with a full inner layer (belly band). I was just hoping to do the minimum patch areas for the three parts. Is there an advantage to the 4" wide tape strips over a 12"x 8" single patch? I have uploaded a few pics of the three areas...
Thanks, I think this one would be ready for the water with just some tape. Will take the time to fix it proper with the Kevlar patches and maybe two layers deep on each section. If you can fix a wrapped one this should be no problem. I just want to minimize or hide the stress cracks on the...
Thanks, I am lucky that the rails, ribs, yoke, seats etc. are in great shape. All are with the detachable hardware as well. Where did you source your epoxy and 6 oz cloth from? Will be a while before repairs start but I will update with pictures!
The bid shows that it was trailer damage. The aluminum is in perfect shape and the only damage is to the Kevlar itself and some regular use marks on the bottom. I am hoping to do the repairs myself so the only additional cost will be the materials/consumables. The stressed areas do flex under...
Found a salvage project that needed a few repairs, bidding went on for a bit and the final price was $650 for the 2011 model. It is in the Green Le Tigre kevlar layup and has some damages that will need some work. Going to get the proper items to do the repair and I will have a nice tripper for...
A great trip that will stay with you for a long time! Thanks for including us and there is some great pictures as well. Nicely done on finding the plane crash!
I did enjoy the challenge but will need to get in shape before I try that again! Lol. Need to watch the heat and drink more water too! Thanks for the link!
I did find a maker for the portage signs using the Google image search.... http://www.chrismar.com/P020Signs0907.htm Looks like a...
