I’m stuck at a Tim Hortons in Happy Valley, Labrador, not a good place to be after quitting carbs and sugar, (dropped 26 lbs, blood work shows nice improvements). Blizzard conditions yesterday from Labrador City to here, started slowly, then full on white outs. Route 510 is closed from here to...

Yes, I would say it is fine for an 11 yo. Canamiti Creek has some fast water to paddle up at the portages, but no rapaids, just a steady current irrc. Not hard at all. I liked the campsite on the island I mentioned, although it might be small, we only had one tent. Nice site downstream at the...

I did #61 yers ago with my son, it was very nice. We did it in the spring with lots of water, a friend did it in August and had issues with low water. I guess you could get info on water levels when you buy your permit. We saw 6 moose in one day. paddling upstream on Canamiti Creek was easy...

He posted an ad on a Facebook canoe page and it appears someone grabbed it. It would have been nice for the op to post an update as soon as it was claimed.

With all due respect to samb, I was thinking England. They have an active website “Song of the Paddle” which states its purpose is for all canoe users who hear the song of the paddle and its most popular part of its forum is the discussion about “open canoes” (what a concept, sorta like this...

Looking forward to following your trip, safe travels.

There should be a law against adding foot pedals, rudder and a floor mounted seat to a canoe, then paint it Chestnut grey and name it a Cruiser

I sold this Kevlar Explorer for $800 about 8 years ago, fresh pant and wood, no hull repairs. Spring time is a tough time to find good deals. Before After,

No plans for taking a canoe, this is basically a road trip to see remote Labrador, Newfoundland’s coast and hopefully some icebergs. A lot of Newfoundland’s back roads are loaded with potholes from the info I have gathered so I leave the canoe home. Also, bringing a trailer on the 3 ferry's...

It hasn’t been mentioned yet, but that Wenonah is not suitable for solo paddling of which the Mad River is (canoe reversed, solo paddler sitting on the bow seat facing the stern seat). I would take the Mad River Explorer for its versatility, rivers, streams, solo, tandem, big lakes, just a...

That’s an awesome camper/trailer combination. I bought an older pop up truck camper and plan a trans Labrador road trip this spring, but no trailer this trip.

Getting my wood canvas canoes up on my trucks roof racks is still doable but getting harder each spring so I found this on Face Book Marketplace Monday. It needs some work but it was pretty much what I was looking for. Lights inop, fender bracket weld broken, 1” &7/8” tongue (2” ball is my go...

Well, if it’s still available I will take it and deliver it to Memaquay in northwest Ontario in August where it will be restored. Please let me know if it’s still available. Thanks

Is it fiberglassed and does it need any new ribs? Thanks

You mention things like optimum prismatic coefficient, Swede form, asymmetrical rocker, Kevlar, carbon fiber and CAD, all things that make the modern canoe so much better than Chestnuts, yet you still need a skeg on a canoe? Those Indians, prospectors, guides put a lot more miles on those old...

Hope your feeling better, that looked painful.

Thanks Glenn, I appreciate your mentioning that today is Vietnam War Veterans Day. Coming home was an awkward time for many veterans, myself included. This recognition is most appreciated.

NW Ontario with Memaquay and Odessey, good times.
