Sitting a bit low. Due to the lack of solo seat in this great tandem. Short test drive at the open kano festival in Ossenzijl

We have a place in NEGA that we harvest pawpaws by canoe! Paddling up a long abandon ditch that drained a river bottomland for agriculture on the Tugaloo River we come under a bunch of pawpaw trees arching over the water. You can reach out with your paddle and shake a tree a bit. If there are ripe pawpaws they fall off into the water. Unripe fruit seem to stay on the tree. As they float, we paddle around and pick them up. Landing in the water, there are no bruises on the fruit. We make pawpaw ice cream and pawpaw pound cake. We process and freeze them in ice cube trays for winter treats.
It's been beautiful out there lately.
Yes it is. I love it. Light weight, quick enough to get places with little effort and tracks pretty well.
I sure love looking at your canoe Al.
I love looking at your pack basket!
They look even better when there is a mushroom on the scene, and there’s plenty more where this came fromI love looking at your pack basket!

Backyard today

Please excuse me for this, but I added a little drama to the picture.
It seemed appropriate.

Just beautiful, once in a life time,
You embedded a looping Imgur video? That's a first! What river is that?
Not from today, just a few snaps from this summer's travels on the Taltson, Thekulthili, and Tazin rivers in the NWT's South Slave region.
My ride at D'Aoust Lake, my starting point - a 1956 Cessna 180. The pilot/owner praised the durability and repair ease of this veteran aircraft. Lovers of irony will appreciate the fact that his personal vehicle is a Tesla Cybertruck.
West branch, Taltson river exiting Taltson Lake.
After a few days of strong and variable winds, some calm weather let me catch up with my schedule. Evening calm and reflections on Lady Grey Lake.
Chute on the Thekulthili River.
Tazin River below Hill Island Lake.

It took a few tries to get it right! That’s one of the little streams parallel to the Wacissa that go from Big Blue Spring’s main run to its smaller downriver outflow. I like the narrow twisty stuff sub-parallel to the main channel. Though sometimes you have to backtrack, and it’s a good idea to bring a saw too…
We have been dry dry dry here and the river is actually low, which also means clear. I haven’t seen Big Blue so clear in a long time. And more blue than green. It was a nice lazy paddle with friends.
