Did the included demo test with my new iPhone 16 Pro and it worked perfectly. I was surprised at how quickly it connected to the satellite. Certainly is a nice backup feature to have whether traveling wilderness or not.

Never heard the band. That version of Powderfinger is excellent!!

A couple comments…. 1. try to get your paddle shaft a bit more vertical by moving your grip hand over or outside the rails. This will necessitate… 2. …Using a bit of torso rotation when reaching forward for the plant (initial entry of paddle in the water) Power should be applied ahead of your...

Welcome! Trip reports from your area would be very welcome. Good luck in finding some like-minded canoeists.

We don’t ask out loud down here.

Daks are pretty hard to beat.

A chance just to sit by the campfire at the end of the day makes it all worthwhile whether you have traveled that day or not. Hope I get to do it again someday. Thanks for the post.

Favorite…I know this is sort of stretching the intent of the topic but one of my very favorite sites was a houseboat a group of us rented on the Mississippi at Prairie Du Chien, WI to go up and down river for a few days, beach and paddle some backwaters. Boats stored on top. Second pic is me (R)...

Worst was at “Grocery Place” site on the paddling loop at Collier-Seminole state park in SW Florida. Grass 2 feet high which I am certain contributed to mosquitoes so thick you couldn’t open your mouth to speak. Gave up cooking dinner when there were more mosquitoes in the pot than food. Not...

Videos do have value, however….. Taking lessons from certified instructors was the best decision my wife and I made when we were beginning paddling. Highly recommended. Eventually I became an instructor then instructor trainer and, certainly not to toot my own horn, but I know I was able to...

Thanks for a stellar TR…really appreciate the time and effort to post it.

LOVE TC area! Hope you had salmon for dinner.

Good thinking…. my favorite type of paddling…intimate and pretty

Excellent job saving a classic…enjoy!

Fond memories of my Tripper…such a comfortable canoe. Beautiful place!

That ranger is made of some pretty stern stuff!

Sorry to hear the bad news, hope all ends well. I would have been one to question the XL14 for lake travel but you have certainly proven with your experiences the adage that “a man with an opinion is not at the mercy of a man with the facts.” Looking forward to the eventual trip report.

Interesting topic…I confess to not remembering where I bought my first canoe (OT Penobscot) or what I paid for it, only that the purchase was precipitated by a realization that putting packs in the canoe and going downhill was much easier than my previous avocation of putting them on my back and...

The saying was always “whatever you can do going forward you can do going reverse and whatever you can do on side you can do offside”. Of course some of those maneuvers are more for show than practicality. In fact practically speaking you never have to change sides anyway to go elegantly in any...

Great buy! Congrats!
