A very boring paddle in my experience. ADK or bust in NY!

Yup. Rochester has always been a hotbed for used canoes. I have found some great boats and deals in that region of the state. I have the same radius as you. Not finding much of anything on CL. Facebook market place is worse.

I wear a Weatherwool anorak. On warmer days I will wear a merino(Filson) long sleeve base. On colder days I will add a Filson sweater as a mid layer. Still plenty of room to move my arms. The Weatherwool anorak as zippers on each side so getting it on and off is not too much of a chore. On...

Great info!!

Good to know Turtle. I am the same weight as you. Thanks for the video link Kona. Very cool.

I think I can get away with an overnight trip if need be. This will be may daily play boat. I also tried the Colden website. It is no longer active. Hope all is well over there in WNY.

Great info. Thanks! This came from the Portland area. The original owner had a pair of these. One Violet with a kneeling thwart and one Raspberry with a traditional seat. The latter was shipped to the Netherlands!

Thanks for the replies! I am aware of the dimensions. I am curious about capacities. The color is Violet and it is equipped with a kneeling thwart (half seat). Now I just have to wait for the thaw. Two long months away.

Hello, I recently discovered one of Tom's boats up in ME. I could not resist and it is now in my possession. I can not find a lot of information on his boats. I would love to know the specifications for this canoe. Specifically the capacities and materials used. I believe Tom used Dacron for his...

Yup. I believe Binghamton,NY was named the grayest (clouds) city in the Nation. Still, we are on the upswing and that is a good feeling. Only two months until DLS!

Yup. I paddle big boats on flat water. The chances of dumping are slim, but in freezing conditions I stay along the shoreline just in case. Whitewater would be a different story. I am not a fan of synthetics. They keep the rain out, but trap the sweat in. They are also not durable. I can't...

Add the Anorak! I am not a fan of pullovers, but my Anorak is key to my cold water paddling. I have no issue getting this on over my base and mid layer( Filson guide sweater).

There is a lot of good info on paddling.com. I use the app frequently to find new places to paddle.

When this happens my girlfriend starts to strongly suggest I retire for the season. Today is that day. I may try to sneak a few more sessions in before the freeze. Terrible time of year. Almost three months with no paddling.

Watching a empire wool and canvas shell on Ebay now!

Everything is sold out everywhere. I have been on the list at Weatherwool for nearly a year. I found a seller with a stash of WW on Ebay and bought everything that was my size. I now no longer think about purchasing gear. If I like something I buy it.I don't know if it will be available...

You just opened a whole new can or worms. dang.

I've become a bit obsessed with wool the past two seasons. I can't get enough of it and the performance of wool is unbeatable. I was out in a nasty wintery mix last night and came back bone dry and warm.

Filson leather gloves with merino lining. I have tried just about every glove out there for cold weather and have never been happy. This is my first season with the Filson gloves and they are fantastic.
