Quick update: I received maps for the route (and an alternate exit from Whitewater skipping the Raymond River & Cliff Lake) from Laurence at Wabakimimaps.com and I'm, again, grateful for @memaquay's excellent maps the past 2 years. Don't get me wrong; the maps look great and should be enough...

PFDs?

If she watches for edible birds & can shoot reasonably well, you can still acquire supper doing it her way (just less ethical to catch & release)

...and here I am building nothing but solos... sure hope she can paddle!

That sounds small... Maybe for a ww playboat?

Could, certainly, be a lack of imagination but, more likely, they're trying to capitalize on any following that the original Cirrus may have had. Sort of like Chrysler relaunching the "Gladiator" which looks like a yuppie-mobile & nothing like the 1960's AMC Jeep trucks. (unfortunately, I've...

Trust me, you won't be able to see a staple hole when I'm done but any filling will be inadvertent. :cool:

I did encounter some slight deviation as I closed in the football but only minor such as I've had on other hulls and I know that I can correct that before I glass by adding supports between the strongback & the low spot. I got the football closed this weekend & started pulling staples...

Ditto, but I'm almost always solo so I always win (or lose, depending on how you look at it)

Depending on her reasons, you may not have to rule out all meats. Cooked bacon will (in my experience) store at room temperature for 6 weeks & I do mine "al dente" and can fry further in the field if desired. Break it up & throw some in a package of 7 minute wild rice of something like Knorr...

I'd think you're ok. Just go for it (maybe don't tell the Ranger where to find the list)

Weird. The link worked for me (both from Glenn's original post and from your quote of it). Phone / browser specific glitch?... Anyone else having issues viewing?

Weirdest thing I carry is a few disposable urinary catheters. When I started doing really remote trips, my urologist thought it would be a good idea "just in case"... Happily, like Robin's pain meds and Bill's life insurance, I've never used them.

By the time I'd reached the top of the stem forms, the tapers were providing no coverage at all in the center of the hull so I moved to the center and started tapering toward the stems After 3 or 4 of these, the strips were starting to run pretty straight down the hull and I was finally...

A word to anyone testing high on PSAs: Don't freak out until they tell you the results of the biopsy. I got tested for the 1st time at 50 and my PSAs were 5x "normal" (testosterone is also 4x "normal"). Dating a nurse at the time, she & her co-workers assured me that I almost certainly had...

Welcome. Always nice to see people from parts of the world that I'm unlikely to paddle (maybe I can live vicariously thru your trip reports / postings). I think e-mailing GRB is an excellent choice. Nobody better to answer the question than the manufacturer. If you would, please post...

I hope he does well with it but I pack as BB described: I use 2 paddles for the portage system and tie the other(s) plus fishing rods inside the boat so that the hull can protect them as I plow through the Alder. If I were to take one on a trip, I'd probably misplace it anyway.

Welcome to the site Chris. I've never built anything composite so I can't really help with that but 2 thoughts: 1) I would think the deck could be built far more lightly than the hull and they make 2.5oz fiberglass cloth (maybe even lighter). I would think you'd just need something rigid &...

Looking great! I really like the color combination.

I would agree with Glenn that either will work depending on how how much weight you would like to add to the canoe and how bulletproof you'd like the gunwales to be. Splicing shouldn't be a problem IMO; done well, it'll be pretty hard to see and anyone looking that closely should be told to...
