    Greetings from the Adirondacks: Overnight canoe camp on Slang Pond

    Greetings from the Adirondacks! Myself and friend Scott Ireland recently headed out for an overnight canoe camp on Slang Pond. We put-in on Hoel Pond traveled through Turtle Pond and into Slang Pond. We found this amazing campsite on Slang and pitched our tents for the night. The weather and...

    You know I thought the same thing about offering that color.

    Picked up a Curtis Nomad 2 weeks ago.

    So many boats so little time, so much water so little time.. I'm on the hunt every day seeing what is out there and what people are selling. Like you mention I'm digging the "Indian Brown"...

    Picked up a Curtis Nomad 2 weeks ago.

    At first I wasn't too fond of the color (Indian Brown) however it has grown on me and I enjoy it. I also have the Peregrine and I agree the glide isn't what I had hoped for. My NW Solo has more glide to it, but let's be honest the Hemlock boats are sweet. As of now that Nomad will stay with the...

    Picked up a Curtis Nomad 2 weeks ago.

    I've only had it out on my parents lake and yes there is a little difference between both boats. Dave told me that the Peregrine turns easier than the Nomad and he is right. However I feel the Nomad has just a bit more glide to it and it is a joy to paddle. Doing a quick overnight trip to the...

    Picked up a Curtis Nomad 2 weeks ago.

    On June 25th I was in the western Finger Lakes here in NY buying a used Wenonah Prism in graphite. Being only 40 minutes from Hemlock Canoe I decided to stop in. Dave Curtis had for sale a 1987 Nomad in fiberglass and I could not resist, it followed me home. I'm not a fan of cane seats so I have...

    Kevlar Curtis Nomad

    Just bought a 1987 Curtis Nomad from Dave Curtis in fiberglass. I also have his Peregrine and these are both wonderful boats. I don't like cane seats so I had Dave install a new conk seat, I kept the original. In a perfect world I would have liked kevlar but beggars cannot be choosers. Love this...

    Beautiful!

    Wenonah Canak

    What I love about the Canak is the idea of it, the theory and the rarity... I hope to find one for sale next year in great condition but my ultimate hope is Wenonah would bring it back so I can order one. I mean a Canak in graphite would be sweet!

    Used vs new - price and value

    From the sounds of it a Hemlock Eaglet is close to what you are looking for.

    Used vs new - price and value

    In regards to the Boreas: I use to have both setups and wound up keeping only the pack version. The solo version is setup for kneeling which I find difficult due to issues with my knees. However if you try to sit in that "Solo Version" you will be swimming, trust me I know. However the "Pack...

    Wenonah Canak

    I'll have to think about it, thank you for the insight.

    Wenonah Canak

    That is interesting to hear.. I've looked at the Rob Roy but like the idea of the Canak better.

    Yes two very small ones in the bow and stern.

    Wenonah Canak

    Thank you for taking the time to respond. I would love to find one eventually or even better Wenonah bring it back. As mentioned below about the Northstar "Rob Roy" I like it but I like Canak better, I think it is more functional. I'm picking up a used Prism this weekend... Maybe next year I'll...
