    What are your current solo canoes and how do you like them?

    I have the general idea from reading but it isn’t something that’s natural. Eta: now I think about it I didn’t try paddling on my left… I better try that. I’m sure paddling on the right biases my weight that way 🤔

    What are your current solo canoes and how do you like them?

    No, I tried shifting side to side. I don’t have any experience heeling to carve turns. I’m still willing to assume it’s me rather than the canoe, but I do wonder if relative strength of the wood gunnels or thwart length can impart a torque to the hull and predispose it to turn a certain way...

    Cooking Fish

    Yes, salmon steaks, skin on. The recipe would work with anything you like. Just adjust your cooking times accordingly.

    Cooking Fish

    Well a curry, chowder, or soup would eliminate the oil. When I cook fish in a pan, is seat the flesh side with very minor oil, a Tbs butter or other fat, flip after 2-4 minutes depending on thickness, and finish on the skin side about the same or less. Not much oil. Then make a sauce in the...

    Time to build again - Short solo/kid's tandem

    A saying I’m becoming more fond of: “perfect is the enemy of good enough.”

    What are your current solo canoes and how do you like them?

    My Phoenix tends to go left when I coast. I need to play with weight placement, I postulate that a little more weight towards the stern would trim it better. Perhaps I am slightly plowing with a dry bag in front of me and nothing else in the boat?

    What are you reading?

    I got about halfway through Another Bend in the River while waiting to be either selected or deselected for jury duty. Just need to finish it now.

    Hauling Two Canoes When Thule Hates You

    A word of warning- the INNO bars only work with old Thule Tracker II towers. The new style slotted Thule square bars and towers etc are incompatible.

    Issue with rack for new truck

    It takes a bit of searching to get the right part numbers, but you can order the pieces and sometimes one complete rack from Rhino Rack. That is what I did for my ‘09 Silverado. Then I used a T-bar hitch rack on the back. Worked great and allowed me to access my hard tonneau cover with 2 canoes...

    Northern lights

    The only thing I saw was the Starlink satellite train. Had no idea what it was but the internet provided an answer.

    Hauling Two Canoes When Thule Hates You

    Thule may hate us but Rhino-rack doesn’t! They make some long load bars. Unfortunately they don’t make foot packs for every bar for every vehicle. You’ll have to put your model and year in to see what they offer. https://www.rhinorack.com/en-us/cross-bar

    Friends here in N FL saw them last night! I went to bed before 10 and missed them. We’re gonna try and stay up for them tonight. Hope they’re visible again.
