I decided that our reaction score weights were too stingy and unbalanced, so I've changed them. Since our migration to Xenforo in August 2021, Like, Love, and HaHa always carried 1 point; and Wow, Sad and Angry carried 0 points. Effective right now, I've changed the weights so that Love and...

Any meteorologists here? What causes those red cloud and gray cloud streaks in the sky? The surrounding mountain peaks? Holes in Swiss cheese in front of the lens?

I don't have this problem, Tom, and no one else has reported it. Nor do I find reports of it on the Xenforo adminstrator's forum. Wow, Benson, that's the first time command prompt information has been displayed on this site. Our server is in LAX? Tom, if you understand all that, I hope it...

Meanwhile—here—we can pass on our experience and hard-won canoe educations to other paddlers and future generations, while enjoying camaraderie, shared interests, and our life changes with a polite group of diverse but like-minded folks from all over the world.

How fortunate. That probably kept the pestiferous deer, coons, mice and squirrels away.

I missed this, too. Great report, Sadie.

That sounds plausible. The heeling I'm talking about with the SRT + Deal bucket is not nail-the-rail heeling, but moderate heeling to change the carving arc of the canoe. You don't have to shift your lateral position to get down pressure on the rail, as one usually does with a wide solo bench...

My Hemlock SRT has a Harold Deal bucket seat, which can be kneeled off of or sat upon. Harold made the mold from an old tractor seat. I kneel in the SRT (and all canoes) 90+% of the time, even when I switch paddle, but I need to change to a sitting position occasionally to relieve my ancient...

Here's an article on that subject: At the 1981 Whitewater Nationals in upstate New York, canoe racer Tom Staz arrived to the event with a boat that caused a stir among competitors. He had modified his Wenonah race canoe with a low-set bucket seat and foot braces. . . . [H]e surprised everyone...

The site was started sometime in July 2011 by Willis, now deceased. We still have several active members, like @scoutergriz, who came on board in 2011. The earliest posts on the site of which I am aware are in this thread: https://www.canoetripping.net/threads/good-luck.54/#post-54
