An interview with Garrett Conover, woodsman, author, wilderness canoeist guide.

[ppine]

lowangle al,
My canoe building days are over. I got overwhelmed making repairs to the brittle old OT. I gave it to a Native friend of mine.

I have sold all of my canoes. My balance is just not that good for fast water. I go in a drift boat now at 74.

That's too bad ppine, it must have been tough selling all your boats, but at least you're still getting out there. I guess you have no interest in day trips or paddling for pleasure. There's more to life than tripping on fast water. Maybe when your friend fixes up the old Guide he'll let you borrow it.
