Just like the others have said that water is cold so start saving for a dry suit. Probably plenty being sold on FB in your area.

Is there a cheap way to ship yakima round bars? Looking to put together a rack for my prius. Thanks Brian

That was a nice watch to get a feel for that area.

Any thoughts on GRB Will's whitewater boat? I looks like it has more volume than a blackwater. It would be used with a bucket seat/foot brace. Not looking for a whitewater boat but nice sleek solo for lakes/large rivers.

Will my prius make it from the highway to the campground? I live on gravel so don't care about the dirt but would like to bring my prius instead the old 4x4 chevy tahoe for gas savings.

Are these "long fast solo canoes" decent tripping boats? Seems like they would be good for large bodies of water but not small rivers with obstacles. Will they fit all your gear if you pack light? Had a mid 80's Jensen Marathon tandem that I just sat in the middle on a foam pad and paddled...

Erica, I have only paddled it a couple of times both on a nearby lake. I was looking for a boat that was smaller/narrower than my camper to paddle solo. It came up for sale close to home so I made the purchase. The bottom of the Odyssey is more flat than round so you can just sit there on...

I have 3 boats in RX OT Camper, OT Penobscot 186 and a Mohawk Odyssey 14. Need that plastic to absorb the hits since I'm paying more attention to the river banks instead of what is in front of me.

From Rec's pics you may be surprised by how much your boat will hold even with the dog. With spring around the corner time to get the gear out to see what fits and then schedule some short trips. I see that is the only real way to know. That is why I drove to Madison 2x and to WPA from...

I am a maybe at this time.

That is a nice find for $240. I would look for a used paddle and then spend $$ on a nice life jacket that fits well.

Do we have a price for these 2 new swift boats? And will Rutabaga have a Swift demo day like last year? Seeing the boats at Canoecopia is one thing but being able to test paddle brings it to another level.

A good canoe/kayak shop usually offers lessons during the paddling season. See if you have one close to you and sign up

You can always unload the NW solo if you don't like it. Heck buy both and unload the one you don't like.

Only one canoe seen on Brushy Creek today and that was mine. Fishing kayaks, SOT, plastic kayak and even a few inflatable pool toys seen. In the second pic pool toys are in the far distance. In the third pic from the dam there are 2 kayaks in the far distance. It was the maiden voyage...

Thanks for putting this nice trip report together. The effort is appreciated.

I don't think shipping is too expensive for a paddle...maybe to FL yes it is? I use a BB arrow.

If looking for new bending branches makes a decent paddle as well as many others. https://bendingbranches.com/collections/straight-shaft Search FB marketplace. Like others have said you can find nice paddles for half the price. Also search ZRE for carbon fiber paddles.

I think his name was Matt and he helped me alot, along with Steve, getting in and out of their boats at WPASCR.

Won't you get tired of eating basically the same thing day after day? I know there are different flavors but essentially all the same texture. No beans for around the campfire?
