    LaVerendrye circuit 34 video

    That's a very enjoyable video, Robin. You certainly eat well on your trips. That portage looks like it could be a real bone breaker, should you have slipped or tripped. The music you chose went well with your photos and video. Tony

    Portaging using paddles vs yokes

    Gerald, Is that lacrosse stick tape on your paddle shafts? How effective is it at minimizing the noise of the shaft hitting the gunwale? Thanks! Tony

    2017 Bog R/Low's L Video

    Hi Sweeper, No construction at the lower dam. At the floating bog above the upper dam, we had a very short drag on the first section and almost had to drag at the second section after the crossover. Our trip was Aug 25-27. Tony

    2017 Bog R/Low's L Video

    bcelect, I'm not sure he follows this site, but I'll suggest that he post his video here once he's edited it. Certainly hope you're right about the foliage peaking that weekend as my wife and I will be at a friend's camp in the 'Dacks. I hope you have a good time on your trip. Tony

    2017 Bog R/Low's L Video

    bcelect - My canoe partner's tripod/dslr is secured to the canoe with shock cords that have a lock fitting at one end. He had a 16-35mm zoom lens mounted on his full frame dslr. The wide angle lens minimizes any camera shake...

    2017 Bog R/Low's L Video

    Hi Dave, The paddle from the put-in at the lower dam to the railroad bridge required frequent navigation to avoid shallow spots that would ground the canoe. Taking out at the end of the return leg was a bit of awkward adventure. Tony

    2017 Bog R/Low's L Video

    Sweeper - The water level was very low, especially between the two dams. I assume this had to do with the construction at the upper dam......Tony

    Wenonah Solitude?

    Snakeybird, From my experience, the canoe paddles equally well with a straight shaft paddle (j-stroking), bent shaft paddle (sit and switch) or a kayak paddle. I had the pedestal seat removed and an adjustable webbed bench seat installed which improved comfort while kneeling. The widest part...

    Wenonah Solitude?

    Hi snakeybird, I bought one when Wenonah first offered the model and kept it for a number of years. It's about as tender as most solo boats, is relatively deep so is ok in lake waves, and not particularly maneuverable on tight twisty streams given its lack of any rocker. I'm 6' tall and around...
