    Glad to be here

    Welcome aboard. I've stopped in at Raquette River Outfitters several times over the years. Always personable, interesting shop, guideboats, and canoe stuff.

    Thanks, Doug. Cookie manages to worm her way into everything I try to do, as puppies will. As you saw, she even found a way to sneak in a non-speaking, on-screen cameo early in the video! She is about to get her first canoe ride. Looking forward to that! She is already routinely retrieving...

    Discontinued canoe you wish was made again?

    Not in the same classic class as the Malecite, but I like the Wenonah Canak concept a lot. I was surprised it was not received more favorably. I've paddled one quite a bit. Discontinued roughly 10 years ago. The Canak is sort of half way between the Bell Rob Roy and the Kruger Sea Wind. Low 40s...

    Fishfinder Test Paddle (day trip)

    That map will be a terrific resource to have in my hip pocket. Thank you kindly. But, of course, nothing beats having a local guide along.

    Fishfinder Test Paddle (day trip)

    Mike, I pm'd you. IT said they were working on fixing your pm problem, but I never circled back to them to find out if it was indeed resolved. Mailing address is PO Box 1336, Middletown, DE 19709. This summer sounds good to me.

    Need some royalex advice

    As usual, Mr. blanc and Mr. McCrea are spot on. The only thing I would add is that they aren't making royalex anymore, and the Pack is a cult classic, out of production AFAIK. So, I would say, embrace your Pack's character. I like unique aspects on a canoe, as theft deterrence if nothing else...

    I considered posting some kind of April Fools gag here, but it is not funny that it has taken so long to launch this mutual gifting procedure. It won't be much longer. Thank you again for your patience. It should be a lot of fun.

    Canoetripping Donation Procedure Info

    FYI, I have several checks, received several weeks ago, that still have not been cashed. The bank branch is some distance from my residence. I am in the process today of learning how to downloading the bank app so I can deposit checks remotely without a trip to the branch. Thank you all again...

    Does anyone have a canoe set up with a rowing rig ?

    Google piantadosi row canoe. I bought one used cheap off of craigslist, tried it out once, and sold it. Man, those were the days, when all sorts of water sport toy bargains would regularly come up on craigslist! If I had a waterfront cabin on a big lake, I might go for it again. If I had a big...

    3.29.21 Edit: Storage usage issues resolved

    I successfully upgraded our account. The additional cost was less than I feared, and we should be able to easily handle it, barring other unforeseen issues arising.

    3.29.21 Edit: Storage usage issues resolved

    Canotrouge, have you tired posting a pic in a post in the last few weeks? We ran an update, and some users reported that the problem was resolved.

    3.29.21 Edit: Storage usage issues resolved

    All suggestions are welcome. Initially, I want to see what IT and/or the provider might suggest. Karin: My first thought is that deleting any post would be a very last resort. A substantial benefit of our site, as opposed to, say, facebook, is that our information is archived and fairly easily...

    3.29.21 Edit: Storage usage issues resolved

    We might run into a temporary problem. I received this from our service provider: "This is an alert that you have used 90% of the available storage on your Cloud account . . . You may [experience] service problems." I have contacted IT about it. In the meantime, it might be prudent to use...

    Solo Advice - Bell Rockstar

    I have paddled the Magic a lot and the Rock Star enough. You should test paddle a Magic. It is super efficient for sit and switch with a bent paddle, and is relatively unaffected by windage. It takes some getting used to. It is long and low, and the lack of freeboard is a bit disconcerting at...
