Red sky in the morning, sailors warning!

We used Canoe Country Outfitters in Ely, MN, nice people.

We didn’t get out much at all this year, the high daytime temperatures, two trips abroad and life just didn’t allow us much time to paddle.

Does that Spitfire have a foam core?

What tandems are you looking at?

Wow, that is terrible. Why would a manufacturer release that piece of garbage? They should have destroyed that canoe, never released to the public!

Yakima makes the goal post attachment.

ABT, go to a place that caters to artists and they will have Sharpie markers in colors that aren’t the norm and you will find a permanent marker that is close to or a near exact match, they will hide those scratches.

Joe, are you bringing it up to Fish Creek this weekend?

I am not seeing any state laws regarding roof rack widths but the legal vehicle width is 8.5’ and under.

Not sure what year your 4 Runner is but Yakima says up to 78” wide round bar is available for 4 Runners. Erica, what type/shape of Yakima bar do you presently have?

I have a Northstar Trillium pack in Blacklite with E6 trim. Nice canoe.

Are you going to get another pack boat, model/brand?

Just got back from spending a few day up in the dak’s and the water levels are down and the mountains are just silhouettes from the haze from the Canadian wildfires.

What I found when I switched from a narrow pack canoe to a wider pack canoe that the 230 cm paddle I use to use was not in the water very long and I had lost efficiency. When I switched to a 250 cm paddle with the wider canoe my speed increased significantly.

About the only thing I dislike on my 2023 Subaru Outback XT is the factory rack. I have had a Thule square bar rack since my 2014 and 2017 BMW’s and it has served me well for 9 years. So I have been searching for a way to use the Thule on my Subaru and I may have found solution. Thule no longer...
