Robin if you can keep the cost under $10.00 shipped please reserve sticker #1 for me.

Juniper springs is a nice place. If you get there before the gates open. Untie all but the most necessary tie downs wile waiting for the gate to open. Send the wife to pay for the shuttle service while unloading the canoe and walking the canoe down to the launch. Usually get out as one of the...

Am blessed to have many spring runs, canoe able rivers near by and a few campsites for canoeist. But the large wilderness areas are further away than my wallet can by gas for. The Suwanee River trail and Everglades are too many gallons of gas away nowadays. So day trips in late fall through...

Was reading another paddle sport board were some one started a thread about the crazy things they have seen the floating public do on over used rivers. What have you seen? My craziest thing was a flotilla of 6 aluminum rentals tied together as a barge. They were floating down the Fox River...

Thule no longer supports "R" series keys. These are old lock knobs. They support locks/keys that start with "N" or have four digit numbers.

Just came in possession of a old set of Thule rain gutter towers. Need a set of spare keys. They are "R" series and no one knows how to get blanks. Any Ideas?

meopilite Mlhun09 and I are about the same. The only thing different is I use quick-n-easy brackets and carpeted 2 x 4's. There is this twang sound I am looking for when I pluck the straps like a guitar string. Just gently tighten the canoe then use oldie moldy's method to check for tightness...

Yellow canoe be very careful with your dog and moose. A supposedly true border collie story for a border collie website is about how a farmer decided he only needed one dog to heard and be his bird dog. Well to make a long story short the border collie herded a moose back to the hunter as he...

Yes Gavia I mean "Border Collie" Thanks for the peanut butter idea Memaquay. Thanks for the way you said it Oldle Moldy. The Border Collie (read calm dog) has his basic obedience down pat. He has a off switch and a on switch. The velcro strips will work as long as you use the hook side on...

We found this little side canal an spent some time there. Could not spend the whole day. Had to get off the spring run before the crowds came and ruined everything. Also had to make it back to the spring head to see the mermaids. So Meopilite would agree with you most of the time we had a...

Every once in a while I get the bug to try to take out my collies in a canoe. Would probably push it more but hate to think they could become gator snacks. Too many gators in the water around here to chance tipping over. Was thinking of making an out rigger to keep us from tipping over. Maybe...

Going to sound a bit different here than most. Your speed was great for not being out on the water that much lately building up skill/muscle, being relatively new, and not using bent shafts in a Jean Jensen racing canoe. :o How was your boat trimmed? That can make a difference in speed. Just...

Yes change your hobby. Give up lakes and wide rivers. Change to narrow twisty creeks protected by high banks and close in high forest. This will take a lot of research and a little bit of travel to find. Been out three times this year on day trips when gust of over 20 miles an hour have been...

Do you have a favorite sun screen for canoeing? Have been useing Hawaiian Tropic 50 pls sheer touch. But it is almost empty now and the sun is strong here in central Florida. Water proof is essential. So is being able to grip the paddle after use. We use light weight almost see through long...

Turtle I prefer the Mohawk Solo 14. :rolleyes: Not the fastest, most nimble, or lightest. But hard to beat the price performance ratio. $265.00 as a second direct from the factory in 1994. Recently had to use Keeleasy to protect the worn out bow. Any one ever paddle the Class Five...

This web site uses the birds mouth method for the shaft. http://ngc704.home.comcast.net/~ngc704/paddles/ Was thinking about this myself. Wife wishes a stand up/polling paddel for when she stands up in the Mad River Explorer.

Sorry Yellow canoe. But told you so. Manatee are more dangorus than gators. :rolleyes: They are curious. Watch out for the White Ibis they like to poop on take off. So if you paddel under their tree and scare them...... By the way pictures are great. Thanks for the tip on dolphins.

Come on down to Florida. In the middle of our spring canoe season. Not to cold. Not too hot. Heat is a problem here in the summer. But hey we have been ice free for a few years.:rolleyes:

North West Canoe (NWC) has two solo plans I was looking at before finding a Bell black gold Wildfire in need of wood work cheep. http://www.shop.northwestcanoe.com/Canoe-Plans_c22.htm;jsessionid=EEAF131620E20C49A54BBEBE29824F74.m1plqscsfapp06 Merlin ,Passage Solo, and the tadpole if you count a...

Just wanted red langford, seeker, and every one else know how well the TitebondIII did. Easy to work with and clean up. Holds great. Glued up a sample scarf joints and tried to break them. Could not do it. So used TitebondIII on the gunwales. Was not disappointed. Just checked out the...
