So, today I picked up my new-to-me Swift Keewaydin 15. This is the full carbon layup, and she is virtually brand new. I live in the Minneapolis area, so I am spending the night in Kalamazoo, MI where I met the seller-twas actually his post in the classified here where I learned of this...

Very nice! Bring that up to Minnesota and I will give you $500 ;-)

My wife may just shoot me for this one...! Cannot wait to get it out on the water!

So tempted; that is a beauty! I am in the Minneapolis area-which may be my only saving grace.

Great price on a great pack.

I am debating whether or not to bring a small tarp along with the Lean this yer. Kind of defeats the purpose of using the Lean, but with the amount of rain I had last year it would have been nice to have a tarp under which to cook. The Lean has an awning, but it is pretty low to the ground.

LOVE poutine!!

Dan will take care of that!

He did not run the Thursday paddles last year, and I would be surprised if he will this year. But, one never knows. I will ask him when I see him in a couple weeks at the Midwest Mountaineering Expo.

Good question! Honestly, I do not need a paddle. I really like my Zav, and I have a couple others that I bring along as backups. I also recently purchased a 280 cm Werner Cyprus kayak paddle that I plan on taking along on my Quetico Beaverhouse to Moose Lake trip this July. That said, I am...

Saw that! Wouldn't mind first place, either...!

I had one and sold it last year. The shaft was too bulky for me; never felt right in my hands. They are a great company, however.

Thanks, Quinn. Now, if I could only find a local Mitchell dealer that carries the surreal.

My dream is to retire on the Gunflint. Literally my favorite spot in America.

Good points; especially the varnished grip take.

Thanks. After getting a quite from XY, I will be pursuing other options.

Just heard back from Spencer Meany. $295 (Can) for a paddle, $40 to ship. Too steep for me...

If you click on this link you will see a thumbnail of a side view that you can click on.

Good points; exactly what I need to hear.

Glad I found this forum; humor, wisdom and fresh ideas to feed my gear addiction. I make a lot of mistakes with gear, but isn't that just one step in the dance? I try something that others rave about, do not like it, sell it (or give it away) and try something else. Drives my wife, Deb, nuts...
