Hello!
I'm been lurking for a few weeks now so I thought I'd join the group.
My wife and I have been paddling for 50+ years but we didn't really have boat control skills until about 20 years ago when we joined 3 Rivers Paddling club and learned just how little we knew for those 1st 30 years. We still have a lot to learn but we no longer bicker like in the early days. We've open boated up to class 3 and we've also done some great raft trips up to class 5.
We day paddle, and we love to do multi day trips but we don't get out as often as we'd like. 2 canoe household...Wenonah Rogue in royalex for running rivers and a Wenonah Escape in carbon for flatwater.
We are beginning to be frustrated with BWCA permitting system and now the prohibition on blue barrels for food storage so we are looking for advice on some other wilderness trips. Maine is on my radar.
