Beautiful pup!

Thank you… that is fantastic being able to ski right out back! I’m going to do a deep dive into those skis… thank you very much for the details!

Hi Al- looks like a lot of fun! What ski set up is that? Cheers!

I enjoy these stories very much. As some of you know, my first desire to canoe camp happened at 8 hearing of a family member’s 10 day trip in Ontario. It took 40 years before I had my first experience in Quebec. I loved it. But to be honest… it was finding this forum, watching Robin’s cedar...

Sold to a great forum member… thank you everyone for the help on the sale… happy paddling!

This canoe is 13’8” and weighs in at 25.5 pounds. Material cost was around 550$. The hardest part was finding green white oak and clear cedar in the lengths necessary for the gunnels

And you can remove and nest a smaller canoe inside for easier transport
