I have a Wenonah Voyager with a Cooke cover. I was in a Dollar store one day and saw some cheap beach balls and had an idea. I bought two of them placed them on top of my gear and inflated them enough so that they raised the front and rear covers to allow the rain to run off instead of pooling...

Wonder how much?

Had the pleasure of paddling down the Silver River with my wife, son and grandson the othe day. Didn't see any monkeys but we did come across two grougs of manatees. The first group had 4 in it, 2 of which were very friendly and played around our canoes for about twenty minutes. The second group...

I give up for tonight.

Lets try this again and remember what Mike said about editing. . At least we didn

Messed up again, anyway here is the report. I was getting ready to make some reservations to go canoe camping in the Okefenokee Swamp when an old paddling buddy got in touch and asked if I was interested on spending a couple of days on the Suwannee River. Looking at the USGS river gauge I saw...

I was getting ready to make some reservations to go canoe camping in the Okefenokee Swamp when an old paddling buddy got in touch and asked if I was interested on spending a couple of days on the Suwannee River. Looking at the USGS river gauge I saw that the flow rate at Fargo GA was around 550...

Speaking of tent poles maybe use the rain fly off your tent instead of a sail. Kayak_Ken (in a canoe)

Mike, In the past you have talked about using sails on your canoes. Maybe you should try to think of a way to use the sail and some tent poles as a sun shade for your chair. One less thing to buy and carry around. Kayak_Ken (in a canoe)

I was thinking the next mod to the chair would be attaching one of those blue 2 hole yoga cup holders. Kayak_Ken (in a canoe)

Sweeper is correct, I was using my name, not my "Tripper Name". Dougd doesn't make "smudge odour" either.

Ken Ward turns into "We Drank"

Mike, Have you thought about just adding side extentions and end panels to your existing rain fly? They could be easily put on or taken off as needed with something like these fasteners.

When camping on the Suwannee River in Florida I find that the stakes don't work that well in the soft fine sand. What does work well for me is to dig four holes in the sand, using the sand in those cloth grocery bags and then place the bags in the holes and attach the tent to them. I use this...

Here is something to think about. It is called a MonkeyHut and is popular at Burning Man. It doesn't require trees to set up and has a number of poles to setup but it might be worth the trouble.

If Thor likes Canadian geese you need to bring him down for a visit. Kayak_Ken (in a canoe)
