Has any one tried using Gpsfiledepot maps with Garmin base camp? Have a nuvi 765T that was bought used and cheep today to try this with. In the past the only tech I have used to navigate while canoeing has been radio towers. They are easily seen over trees in open areas and can be used as...

Do not know how much kneeling Holmes planes to do. Any more any canoe I use needs to be able to handle some kneeling so I can change positions to keep from being sore. Holmes can you please post more pictures?

Let me know if you ever get up north with your canoe. North to central Florida that is. Willing to help you find the great places around here. It is kind of nice to be able to say if you come north to some one at last. Seems like every one else is north of me on here.

Hope you get it. A home run! A good canoe, getting it with the grand kids, supporting a good cause, and a tax write off for a donation to a charity. All at a great price.

Ok I am printing this right now and putting it in a safe place. Going to make a check list from these ideas and start trying to fill it out. The hardest thing to come up with so far is the water shoes with ankle support. Any brand names/model to search for? Need ankle support right now and...

joebh were in Florida do you live? I am in between Orlando and Daytona on I4. Could let you try a Bell Wildfire at Katies Landing. Constantly change from kneeling to sitting in it. About once an hour or so on long trips. The Wildfire is the fastest boat I have been in that also turns...

As we are running out of time on this site and in life . Fell I can not just sit back and lurk and learn any more. Would like to ask the canoe elders what to equipment is important to get to help when elderhood comes along. Trying to find all I can used on Craigs list. Often takes years down...

Getting older and looking toward the future. Keep on passing up the kevalar canoes I see. Now there is a 18' kevalar We-no-nah with a big designed by Jensen decal. Not a racing model. A Bell Northwind is hard to get through some of the places we go. Thinking anything Jensen and 18' is not...

Paypal sure made it easy to send on my little bit. Have kept on meaning to send a US Mail money order ever since Rob gave an address out for the free stickers. Just never could get to the Post office when it was open as I work about the same hours. Any way my donation might be worth a couple...

Robin your wall mounts could be mine. Look almost the same except for your canoes. The outrigger legs could go under the wall mounted canoes so will be a feature that will be incorporated into the design. Was trying to avoid removing the current wall mounts but the metal rack with canoes on...

Like the idea of being able to store wood on the back side. Lost some room for that also and work as a counter balance. Have some 2 x10 from an old skid. They will work great as the feet.

Spent the week tearing down one quarter of the canoe barn/workshop/lawn mower shed. Roof was rotten due to the way the person who built it tied into the original roof. We have discussed rebuilding but financially it will be a couple of years as a completely new design will be needed and have...

Your sister is lucky to have a brother like you. If I had my hands on that boat she would have had to wait until I died to get it. Soon you will have to sell them a solo so the daughter will have her own seat in the tandem. :)

In Florida it is not uncommon to see a Bald Eagle. In some areas have even come to expect it. Did not know that Bald Eagles hunted loons. Wondering if that is why I am seeing less and less Limkins here? Every one used to tell me Limkins were rare but always managed to see some when in there...

Just wanted to say thanks to every one who gave helpful ideas and insight. Yellow Canoe the snake creek were you said passing would be a problem. Well we had a two boat battle with a sea kayak for about three miles in that area while being passed by another sea kayak. Kind of tight...

Would not use epoxy. Could cause serious problems when you finally MUST remove the gunnels. Would use Titebond III. Would also put a wood patch under the break area. Did this with my Mad River Royalex Explorer. The hull flexed but the epoxy in the gunnel scarf joint broke. Yes it looks...

Will choose any passing zones want to see If we can catch a little help from a wave when we can. Know snake creek well. Just usually come from the other direction. We launch at the end of the dirt road by blue springs and go south to the logging canal(some call it bird house canal) down dead...

Have not had it years and it might be too heavy to portage. There is such a thing as canned bacon.

My Jensen Is the Mohawk C1 and have been told it is very similar to a late 70's Wenonah 16ft WWC1. Wish we could change it up a little and put my wife in the stern. Maybe next year after we try it for a while . All our trips have been with her in the bow. She is the best at keeping balance...

Thanks Allen forgot the drafting. Kept up with a sea kayak for about a half hour in a Mad River Explorer by riding his wake just right. Hydration will be very important. Will be in tandem mode in the recreational class. Now way will I put a Northstar up against a racing hull. I love racing...
