    Launch permits or boat registration in your state.

    The article says: "While canoes and kayaks are not required to be registered in Idaho, an Aquatic Invasive Species sticker is required; this requirement also applies to any watercraft visiting from out of state. The only watercraft exempt from this requirement are inflatable paddlecraft under 10...

    Launch permits or boat registration in your state.

    It's not that bad. The town launches require permits only between Memorial Day and Labor Day, and are rarely policed. Moreover, the state has free boat launch sites on many of the same lakes and rivers where the towns have their proprietary launches. In addition, there are still a bunch of DIY...

    2026 Fund Drive Is Now ON. How To Donate.

    Veterans

    Other than this year when the notice bar is featuring the currently ongoing Fund Raiser, I always feature November 11 as Veterans/Remembrance Day. When I was a boy, the day was called Armistice Day to celebrate the end of World War I, and still is called that in many countries. In 1954 the...

    Launch permits or boat registration in your state.

    The article linked below was published on April 30, 2025, so it has some probability of being accurate. First, some of the money quotes from it: "In Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky...

    AI bots are now sending emails begging to become members

    Alan has handled the vast majority of membership screenings since he became a moderator. Part of our tightened-up screening procedures last spring was to require the personal, manual approval of Alan or me after all the automated screenings. Our automated procedures that precede the manual...

    Paddle build "challenge"

    Here is a 2017 thread I posted with pictures of some of Phil Greene's canoes, paddles and furniture. I spoke to him on the phone about making me a paddle and he sent me a stunning DVD of much more of his work...

    AI bots are now sending emails begging to become members

    What a brave new world. Last winter and spring we were bombarded by AI bot registrations. Every day of my vacation last April I would get up to 40 or 50 overnight spam posts by AI bots. I had to ban each bot and then manually delete each spam post. I think Alan once counted 90 attempted...

    New Swift Tandem?: Kruger 16.6

    This is odd. Swift's family-owned store in the USA has a Swift model in stock called the Kruger 16.6 that is "so new we don't have specs yet!!!" Yes, Dave Kruger over his career worked for Wenonah, Bell and Epic Kayaks. I believe he passed away in 2020. At Wenonah, he designed at least the...
