My good morning welcome:

What's the difference between it strapped to roof racks versus sitting in a cold building? Maybe it could be the compressive stress of the tie downs but seems not that significant.

About 10 minutes from us was highest recorded winds - 79 mph - in Dexter.

I don't know but I like the idea of a canoe bring tax deductible as a medical cost.

If I understand, I think the only shortcoming, and slight, is that the defy requires all to use an app. I think most others, Zoleo for sure, just uses the common text and email apps. 6 months ago I upgraded from Spot 2 to Zoleo for my wife's benefit, but I think today I'd go with Defy...

I have an SR Tranquility which I find fantastic for BWCAW/Quetico, which I find fast and stable even in white caps. I also have a Swift Prospector 14 Pack I use for Adirondack paddling. I like the Swift, but may change it for something in Royalex or T-Formax, so I don't have to worry about...

Cliff Notes for canoeing. Love it.

Under tarp.

I've only test paddled it, but the Esquif Echo, while a little heavy at 4t pounds, send very stable and the T-Formax kis pretty tough. Plus costs less than Kevlar. I like my sub 30 pound Swift Prospector pack, but sometimes wonder if the Echo would have suited me better

I have always inflated it outside to the tent.

Exped Schnozzel pump bag for me and my two Exped pads and Exped pillow.

I'm only 71 and have never been able to board a canoe from a dock. I just get wet and slip in from the water. Nice canoe at a very good price. should find a home in the Adirondacks.

Interesting. I find the electric seems much safer than ice.

My EGO electric chain saws stop fast, practically instantly when I release trigger. I think it's the nature of electric motors, not brakes.

Well, paddle the Erie Canal and see Buffalo NY.

Keeled Over - do realize your posting in a 2+ year old thread and things have changed - grown - a lot since then.

It's new, of course, and that can be a problem for a while BUT more significant, if I understand it, people you message have to use a Defy app. That's quite different than other satellite communicators I've looked at. That said, if I hadn't recently bought a Zoleo, I'd buy a Defy because it's...

Not sure at all. Parkway | Family Restaurant is less than 2 miles west of venue is pretty good breakfast diner. Totally open.

I wondered if a Sunday morning breakfast meet might work for this group.

Are there enough canoetripping.net members attending Canoecopia to schedule a get together?
