Thanks for the kind words.
Gerald, I had to google Bonne santé mon ami, Thank You. Glad you don't speak French around our camps, no google there.
I told my wife I plan on a few trips next year to catch up on the ones I missed in the last couple of years,
She said
"Tu es un rêveur"
HaHa
Canoetrouge, I like that old kevlar Explorer hull, I was planning on selling it but it's got some stress cracks and an old patch, both don't mean much to me but for resale that stuff hurts. I'm still thinking I can go with the wood canvas canoes but keeping that kevlar canoe might be a good idea. That big heavy fiberglass Lamoille is a nice canoe (for a young guy with a strong back), 18'4" by 32" wide.
