Wife gave me one of his pack baskets for Christmas. Supposed to pick it up this week.

I have a Northstar Magic in kevlar listed on Facebook Marketplace if anyone is interested. Located in Camden, ME. Pickup only. This is a 2019 model, very few scratches, a few dings, still in very nice condition. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/484546157165448

Robin, I still hope to get over to visit your shop.

Just purchased a 1965ish Chestnut Prospector from White Rose Canoe in Newbury, Mass. Great people to deal with. But it's got me wondering what I should carry in my repair kit when tripping with this canoe. What would a well stocked field repair kit for a wood/canvas canoe include? Sorry if this...

That was mine, yes. I just replied to the post on the Appleton board and to let everyone know the boat has been recovered and graciously returned.

Morse's?

On Friday, I exercised the poorest of judgment by trying to run my Esquif Echo down the St. George River (Maine) in flood stage. By the third wave in the wave train my canoe was full of water and, well, I went swimming for about a 1/4 mile of rapids before I could get to shore. I was exhausted...

Yes, Dave Curtis was great to work with and I in no way meant to suggest that my struggles were the boat’s fault but only my own. I look forward to figuring it out and spending many hours on the water in it.

That's cheating.

Thank you, Glenn. This is really helpful. I'm already thinking about a day of heeling exercises in shallow water.

Yeah, I was sitting while taking a break from kneeling. I do feel more in control kneeling but not enough to make me confident. I'll put in the time, as Glenn suggests.

Thank you, Glenn. I'm fully committed to the canoe and will put in the time.

I have yet to paddle with any weight in the boat and will give that a try next time out, probably this weekend if the river doesn't ice up again. I seem to recall Deal saying it was a boat that encouraged vertical (or upright?) paddling. What do you suppose that means? Art

I took delivery of a Hemlock SRT about a month and a half ago with idea if using it for tripping on some class II rivers. I tipped it and swam with the fishes within 20 seconds of putting it on water, and I tipped again this afternoon (wearing a dry suit here in Maine). I feel like I'm missing...

Ended up buying the PAL and I am in love. Logged a couple of solo trips in November and found instant comfort heeling it over and weaving through the islands of Crawford Lake and Nicatous Lake (Maine). Got the blue one because, well, I have too many green canoes. I also bought an Esquif Echo...

This is awesome info. Thanks so much. I'm imaging a trip from Route 6 that travels Baskahagen Stream to the Mattawamkeag River to the Penobscot, taking out on Verona Island near Bucksport. Looks like 140 plus miles. Not all wilderness, for sure, but I imagine even the voyageurs of old looked...

Understandable. I, too, go to great and nefarious lengths to keep my favorite fishing spots off the radar.

Thank you. This sounds right.

Thanks so much! I'll get the book.

What's the etiquette around asking a guide service for information when you're not using their services?
