Source? Darren was pretty adamant that Canoecopia would continue without him in control of Rutabaga. I think it may even encourage growth in that arena, as some of the weird vendor/store politics will no longer be in play.

And now closing for sure. Liquidation sale ongoing.

That's tough man. Go do the things!

Ray Ban Aviators in Sylvania during a rollover and Oakley Fuel Cells in the BWCA when unshouldering a canoe in the muck. If only there was a way to keep them from falling so far from my head when dislodged... 🤔😶

Chicken. 😁 :p ;) Man, that is some beautiful scenery.

Managed a whole hour in Z2 this morning. Not anywhere close to 60spm, but little improvements will undoubtedly keep coming and build into much larger steps.

Solo by necessity. Tandem worked well enough with my son, but about the time he was in a place to really start syncing up, he wanted to switch to solo. We could probably really learn well together at this point, but our fleet is all solos now. Dear wife is just not into it all that much, and is...

The carrying capacity has a lot of variance from manufacturer to manufacturer. Some use waterline, some use freeboard, it can get weird. Most modern manufacturers seem to give an ideal weight range, which seems to correlate with the 3-4" waterline, give or take. My experience, which is nothing...

Name that summer camp... 😄

That is the hope. But the best-laid plans of mice and men.... 😄

The biggest variable right now is my underlying cardiopulmonary "fitness". I *know* that it is not good, and I won't have a real baseline for at least another month. Because of my lack of fitness, lower-effort training is difficult on the erg. It's not like being on the water where you can...

Did two 15 minute intervals today. (Plus a little max-effort sprint at the end, not recorded) The goal was to hold 60spm for 15min and hold 40spm for 15min Potentially interesting bio-efficiency correlation. I need to get my fitness way up before I start drawing conclusions, but at my current...

“I’ve been in the canoe business for 45 years,” Bell says. “The plan is to stay here, because we own the building, and to keep the same workforce, because they do a really good job. That’s my goal. My goal is to replace me, so I can do more of what I want to do at this age.” Article further...

And you would have been right! 😁 I am well-known at work for exactly this type of explanation when a more concise answer would have been more than adequate. A curse of my home-school education.

Yes and no, lol. Data sheet below. Here is a link to more info, and a screenshot of one paragraph in particular. https://www.epoxyworks.com/about-epoxy-shelf-life/

Bump for progress?

Here is the build thread, if you want some more background. https://www.canoetripping.net/threads/x-canoe-build.19929/#post-20181

@Alan Gage @yknpdlr Gentlemen, I really appreciate you consistently providing me with information. I hope to continue to receive such as I journey toward my first race.

I need to get in the real boat soon and figure out the stroke dynamic. Watching some of the marathon guys, I think I am applying power for a much longer stroke. Easy to do on the erg, with cadence being the only penalty. Might not work well in real life. I naturally want to do a longer...
