Alsg was in Maine and reached out for a day paddle so we both were able to make that happen. We paddled our handbuilt cedar strip Wabnaki’s and had a great day. Weather was exceptional. Check out the video on this following link. https://youtu.be/VCxlIfU7A_4

Not the best shot, but a shot nonetheless!

Just subscribed to this thread and have caught up reading through the entire thread. The build looks great RickR. I look forward to following your future progress. All the best!

I have a lot of fun cooking on fire and with a teenager camping with me you have to keep that furnace well fed. We had a great time lowangle!

Happy to share! Thanks for watching!

The Stanley French Press has become my go to on canoe trips. Highly recommend it!

The Wabnaki handles beyond expectations fully loaded with a tandem paddling arrangement. Very pleased! Thanks for watching the video! Appreciate it!

Bob I have read many of your trip reports and just like you said there are so many paddling opportunities in Maine, but few where one is alone to take it all in. I have considered several Canadian trips but this year is clearly what it is. Camden and I have recently discussed some fly in trips...

Agree fully that green peppers and onions bring a special flare to camping cuisine. Camden enjoys nice table fare while camping so I accommodate. Plus I enjoy cooking over a fire. Every thing tastes better with flame!

My son and I just returned from our weekend getaway to Seboeis Lake, Maine. We loaded up and paddled the Wabnaki tandem and I was extremely pleased with the stability of the canoe. Camden was very impressed and comfortable with the webbed seats. He is not a big fan of the molded seats. On...

I think the best advice that I can offer is to determine what type of canoe tripping can be accommodated by the desired to be built canoe. A new builder would need to identify what is the most important factor in regards to boat design....for me personally I needed more speed which I gained by...

Chip, after the portage from Caucomgomoc stream to Caucomgomoc Lake I did in fact paddle Ciss Stream. I captured some Moose footage on Ciss Stream and I tried my up side down photo of the mirror like water on the stream and skyline. That was Ciss Stream. I then paddled Round Pond hoping to...

Thanks for watching Fitz. I certainly hope you have an opportunity to realize a Fall trip!

Robin, I hope that you are finally settling in with your move to Maine and begin to realize some of the great paddling opportunities that exist not to far from your new home. Thanks for watching the video and thank you for the kind words! All the best Robin!

Very pleased to learn that you and Karen enjoyed the trip video and followed along with my first canoe build video series. The trip was truly rewarding and the canoe handled like a dream. The Wabnaki design really makes for an extremely stable canoe and I was more than comfortable throughout...

Great trip report Goonstroke and great pictures!! I have always been curious about Nahmankanta but the easy access has always deterred me from even trying. The stream travel was obviously a challenge...but in the end you got er done! The dock at 3rd Debsconeag when I last passed through that...

Great trip report! Very well done and thanks for sharing!

Brian, amazing canoe! You were exceptional documenting this entire build and sharing it with all of Us. I intend to reference this build on future projects and so many will benefit from this thread. Beautiful craftsmanship....beautiful canoe and I hope you enjoy all of it!

Looks great Roybrew! You will greatly enjoy your canoe! Very nice build!

I always travel with my bean boots but they are the low cut style and wading with those would make for a long day with residual sloshing and eventually blisters perhaps. I actually wore very light water shoes (World Wide Sportsman) and they were new before the trip. They look about 5 years old...
