Hi all. so couple years ago i found an old beat up Sawyer kevlar solo canoe....i patched it up and discovered what a total pleasure it is to paddle a fast and light canoe! So now i caught the bug and i'm a proud new owner of a Poke Boat Vagabond (kevlar) that i plan on converting into a solo expedition canoe for Everglades trips...i'll be installing a rudder, a 1m sail and new seats....Mike Mcrea's posts and blog had inspired me to buy an old decked canoe like the Vagabond. im looking forward to sharing my new canoe experiences and upgrades. i started a canoe blog here: http://plebeianyachtclub.blogspot.com/ ..... critiques and criticism welcome!
