New Hampshire's Grafton Pond is about 30 minutes from my house. Often a packed parking lot on weekends, during the week it is largely empty. 319 acres, with two houses along the shoreline and the rest undeveloped. No motors. Went with my wife on Monday.

Had a quick storm blow through yesterday evening at the end of an otherwise lovely blue sky day. Made for a nice scene down by the local put-in.

Wenonah Wilderness has a seat that can be adjusted by tilting forward for kneeling. So I was and am confused by the OP.

Souris River Wilderness rather than a Wenonah Wilderness I guess? [Admin note: I edited title to make this more specific for search engines.]

Can't comment on the MR, but we had a Spirit II and really liked it. We had bench seats rather than buckets. Definitely a hull that will suit a lot of people, and meets your stated needs well.

Ooh, fighting words. :)

My cousin's Gulf of Maine musing.

Not like a French speaker. But I did learn the word in Ontario.

Agreed, modern pads are a huge step up from what they used to be. I'm a side sleeper and use a Big Agnes Air Core Ultra, but I'm sure there are many others that would be equally comfortable.

Once you get the hang of it, putting on the Redleaf canoe cover (not the coat, I can't speak to that) is really quick and easy. Put the boat in the right place on the cover (that's the only trick), lift the cover over the bow, slide the bow into the end of the cover, then lift the other end of...

Any Rheaumes there? Their fit and finish has always looked good to me as well.

Boatguard SPF 50 would do the same as 303. May also be hard to source overseas though. I usually treat my boats once in the spring before use and once in the fall before storage. I think it would last for a month easily, but if the boat is in the water every day maybe re-apply after a couple...
