I'll look for it when I'm out and about here on Long Island. A good looking canoe like that shouldn't be hard to spot.

I saw Bald Eagles here on Long Island this past spring while paddling the Carmans River. I could hardly believe my eyes. In the autumn of 2013 I saw one at Harriman State Park on Silver Mine Lake. The summer 2013 I saw one in Collinsville, CT on the Farmington River. I'm glad they are back...

Welcome. I'm sure you'll like it here.

Thanks for the report and the photos. Nice job fishing! ​I'm glad you had fun in spite of the weather.

That canoe has very nice lines. I just peeked at your website and saw some of your other projects. Very nice work!! You are a talented guy.

Wow. That must have been amazing. You think big for sure! I'm glad you had both fun and luck. Can you share any more photos?

Thanks for the good ideas and yes, TP wasn't on my list :-0 If I forgot my map I would certainly be rattled. Probably enough so to get my hands on another before heading off. I'm a map, compass and gps type of guy. I think I'm going to try and follow Dave's lead and create a master...

SG, It really does get pretty big, pretty fast. We, my Girlfriend and I, had excellent weather a little wind and tide - rode the tide in and paddled against it on the way back. Somehow, the wind shifted so it seemed like it was always against us. We discussed venturing into the bay on the...

Living on Long Island, NY I sometimes paddle protected waters in bays, harbors and marshes. Here's a photo from Friday's paddle: Here's the GPS track from that paddle, 5.8 miles total.

I'm about a month out from a little trip and I'm starting to think I'll forget something. I'm starting to pack and I should make a gear checklist. Have you ever forgotten something - or didn't realize you needed it until it was too late? How did you work around the missing or wished for item?

I'm really enjoying reading about your journey. Thanks for the photos.

Excellent! I bet you all had a ton of fun. Thanks for the great report and photos. The BWCA is on my to do list.

Wow, great report! I had somehow missed this. Thanks for the photos and the detailed narrative. I'm glad you enjoyed yourself.

Go ahead, you know you want to :-)

Thank you for the nice words. I took it out this AM to paddle a local pond and yes, it's a bit more tender but not terribly so. I split the time between sitting and kneeling and all was well. I can still stand in it so that's fine by me. I also did lose some rocker, the boat tracks harder...

Thanks for the recipe. Are leaner cuts of beef better for jerky?

I found a 1994 Mowhawk Challenger 14' Solo canoe on Craigslist and decided I needed it. The seat had some kind of missing back brace and the ends of the thwarts were starting to rot. I've paddled the canoe a few times and enjoyed it but wanted to try and introduce some tumblehome to it. I...

Ha! You're so close now it must be difficult to sit still. Great looking canoe.

Wow, you've been busy. Lots of well thought out working remembering all the tedious details. Nice job for sure.

Thank you for the detailed write up and wonderful photos. I'm glad you are having fun and choose to share your experiences and memories with us.
