Most likely. The gentleman who outfitted this canoe lives there. Bob

I have one as well. No issues. Bob

Not sure this is helpful, but I know a builder who adds West System 410 to epoxy to make it sandable for fairing and filling canvas weave. I can’t speak to its transparency. Bob

Goonstroke is correct. I had this on the bow of a bass boat and it is a very soft pliable material. Perfect for kids sliding it up on a sand beach, but it wouldn’t hold up to rocks. Taking it off would be a sticky mess too. Bob

Looks great Robin. That’s a good off season project. Bob

Bummer about the split. It’s going g to be a dandy though. I like the wood choices- it will stand out in a crowd! Bob

Very nice! Enjoy. Bob

Sweet baby Jesus that sounds good.

Happy New Year

Beautifully written. I am looking forward to the next chapter. Bob

I have family in Ireland that swim in the ocean year round. It may be more common than I thought. I just assumed they were nutty like the rest of the family. I was in a hot tub outside earlier today… not sure that counts. Bob

You are correct- it is a 16’. My mistake. Bob

Soloized Old Town 15’ 50 Pounder- my favorite canoe I own so far… 14’ skin on frame pack boat I built a few years ago- I don’t care for the pack sit on bottom style, but it’s what I wanted at the time. I have plans to soloize a 15’ Old Town Penobscot and rebuild a solo 15’ Peterborough Lite...

The lake I’m on locked up with ice last evening, but will be wide open in a couple days. High 40s F for a few days straight… 🙄 Not much snow to speak of. Bob

Similar shirts to Robin. Specifically Duluth quick dry vented fishing shirts (lots of pockets with roll up sleeves) and Pendleton wool shirts. Layered with merino wool base layer as needed. If it is really cold a wool sweater as well. For pants I like Duluth quick dry and their lined fire hose...

My newish Exped mat came with a rechargeable pump. I can get a few inflations before it needs charged. I have a power bank with me anyway. No issues. Bob

Same. Love it. Bob

I personally don’t unless it is too warm for what I’m wearing. If I’m still hunting for hours or fishing, I have to use toe warmers to be comfortable so maybe it’s just me. Bob

LL Bean hunting boots if it isn’t too cold. Irish Setter Pac boots with wool liners if it’s below 20 degrees Fahrenheit and I’m out for a couple hours or if I’m sedentary. Both worn with thin synthetic liner socks and wool socks. Bob
